what is savanah land and mangroove forest?

Answer 1

Ok, well first of all Savanah Land is a national park is located 15 minutes from Lee's Summit. The Sunderbans are large Mangrove forests which exist in both the Indian Bengal and Bangladesh regions. There are home to plenty of wildlife including man-eating/amphibious tigers, large 10-foot crocodiles, and sharks (oh my). The Sunderbans are best visited by canoe through the treacherous canals that only appear during high tide. At high tide most of the forest is submerged underwater, only to be revealed at low tide. The place we stayed was recently occupied by National Geographic for one month, as they were studying both the sharks and the tigers. There's danger in all corners, but its well worth the experience, especially for those seeking adventure!

Answer 2

Savannah land is flat land where there is mostly grass. In America the large expanse of savannah land is called the Prairies and that of South America is called the Pampas.

Any large area of untended, uncultivated trees can be called a forest so the wild mangrove trees in the swampy areas near the sea can be called a mangrove forest.

Some countries have large mangrove forests. Because there are large swamps in Florida, there may be large mangrove forests.

Answer 3

An understanding of the problems that have beset the formulation of an agreed definition of savannas requires consideration of the origin, historical and present use of the word.

The term savanna is believed to originate from an Amerindian word which, in a work on the Indies published in 1535, was used by Oviedo y Valdes to describe 'land which is without trees but with much grass either tall or short'. Subsequently Grisebach (1872), Drude (1890) and Schimper (1903) extended its use to include grasslands with trees and thereafter the term was used to describe the mixed trees and grass types of vegetation found in all tropical latitudes.

In central and southern Africa savanna is used for open deciduous woodlands, including those locally known as miombo, that are composed of fairly tall, mesophyllous trees and a well defined grass stratum, for parklike vegetation comprising grasslands studded with microphyllous trees of low to medium height, for grasslands with scattered clumps of trees or bushes, for treeless grasslands of tall perennial mesophytic grasses and of short annual grasses mixed with perennial grasses with narrow rolled leaves, and for open forms of vegetation composed of scattered low growing microphyllous trees and shrubs and a ground layer of perennial and annual grasses. The term bushveld is used locally for the parklike forms of savanna which together with the low tree and shrub forms are regarded as the most typical savannas.


And then you have to differentiate between the diferent Mangrove forests:

Dwarf Mangrove Forest
Forest dominated by trees generally < 2 meters in stature. Dominant species Rhizophora mangle. Avicenia germinans, Laguncularia racemosa, and Conocarpus erectus are present within this community but are not a major component. This forest type is analogous to the scrub mangrove community described by Lugo (1980).

Transitional Mangrove Forest
Forest dominated by trees between 2-5 meters in stature. Dominant canopy species is generally Laguncularia racemosa. However, Avicenia germinans, Rhizophora mangle & Conocarpus erectus are commonly found emerging from the canopy. Understory is predominately Rhizophora mangle. Schinus terebinthifolius is sometimes found within this forest type.

Interior Mangrove Forest
Forest dominated by trees between 5-9 meters in stature, however trees may exceed 10 meters in more productive sites. The dominant canopy species are Avicenia germinans & Laguncularia racemosa. As a rule, Rhizophora mangle is the dominant understory macrophyte. Schinus terebinthifolius is sometimes found within this forest type, as well. This forest type is analogous to the basin mangrove community described by Lugo (1980).

Coastal Mangrove Forest
Forest dominated by trees generally exceeding 9 meters in stature and in some locations reaching 13-14 m in height. This forest is found adjacent to the shoreline and rarely extends beyond 175 meters from the coast. Like the Interior Mangrove Forest, the canopy is mainly composed of Avicenia germinans & Laguncularia racemosa while the understory and shrub stratum are predominantly Rhizophora mangle. This forest type is analogous to the fringe mangrove community described by Lugo (1980).

I'm sorry, it's very long but you will probably not get something better.

Answer 4

savanna is grassland & mngrov is tidal forest
