What selective pressures have mangroves overcome?

Mangroves have overcome several selective pressures, including extreme salinity, fluctuating tides, and anaerobic soil conditions. Their specialized adaptations, such as salt-filtering roots and aerial prop roots, allow them to thrive in coastal environments. Additionally, they have developed mechanisms to cope with strong winds and storms, which are common in their habitats. These adaptations enable them to survive and flourish in challenging intertidal zones.
