在我国海南、广东、广西、福建等地的海岸线上，绵延着这样一派片的树林：它们盘根错节牢不成破，既大概消浪固土为城市挡住海风保护农田，又大概净化海水和空气，生物固碳缓解恬逸变暖，因此被称为“海岸卫士”。

这种树很聪惠，就像咱们东谈主雷同。它们像戎行的列兵战队，矮的站在前边，高的站在背面。相等是我国南边台风相等多，这些树就像当地屯子的防守神雷同，保护着村民。

They are smart, just like humans. Like conscripts in an army formation, shorter ones stand at the front and taller at the back. Especially in the south, where there are many typhoons, they guard the local villages and protect the villagers during the typhoon seasons every year.

明明叶子是绿色的，却有个和外形“以火去蛾”的名字，它等于红树林。红树的表皮富含单宁酸，若是将树皮割开与空气构兵，单宁酸氧化后会呈现红色，还不错索求成红色染料。

Mangroves are green, but they are called “red forest”. That’s because their bark is rich in tannic acid. If the surface of the tree is cut, the tannic acid oxidized by the air turns red. It can be extracted and used as a dye.

它们孕育在沿海地区，其结构特征流程恒久发展合适了环境。它们不错隐忍海水侵蚀，强风和海潮冲击。

They grow in coastal areas, and their structural features have developed over a long period to adapt to the environment. They can endure being submerged in seawater and being buffeted by strong winds and waves.

红树林还发展出一系列呼吸根，以克服潮间带泥土缺氧的问题。

Mangrove plants have also developed a range of respiratory roots to overcome the lack of oxygen in intertidal soils.

多种鸟类和海洋生物齐生活在红树林里，包括国度重心保护的爱戴濒危物种，比如黑脸琵鹭、黄嘴白鹭、中国鲎、红榄李、水椰等等。

A variety of birds and marine creatures inhabit mangrove swamps, including rare nationally protected species, such as black-faced spoonbills, Chinese egrets, horseshoe crabs, red flower black mangrove, nypa palm and more.

红树的种子从果实中萌芽，坠入泥土便长成一棵小树，就好像哺乳动物孕珠生子。因此红树也被当地东谈主称为“会生小孩的树”。

Mangrove seeds sprout from the fruit. When they fall into the soil, they can grow into trees. It is like mammals giving birth to offspring. Therefore, mangroves are also known by the local people as \"trees that give birth to children\".

既能净化海水、防风消浪、固碳储碳，又为多种动植物提供了赖以生涯的环境、保管着生物种种性，如斯看来，红树林确凿是又“man”又暖。

As both protectors and matrons, mangroves are both \"manly\" and warm.

中国事少数几个红树林面积增多的国度之一，斥地了一批以红树林为主要保护对象的保护区，其中包括海南东寨港、广西山口、广东湛江、福建漳江口。

China is one of the few countries where the volume of mangrove areas has increased. The country has established a number of protected areas with mangroves as the main object of protection: they include Dongzhai Port in Hainan, the Shankou Mangrove Nature Reserve in the Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region, Zhanjiang Mangrove Nature Reserve in Guangdong and the Zhangjiangkou National Mangrove Nature Reserve in Fujian.
