Abstract

Attempts were made during present research work to differentiate between true mangroves and mangrove associates, on the basis of chemical analysis following Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS), wherein Nitrogen, Calcium, Magnesium, Potassium, Sodium and Chloride were analyzed. The K/Na ratio determines the Mangrove groups-true mangrove and mangrove associates.
