“If I was a mangrove tree” is a photo series using metaphor images of people in relationship with true mangroves based on research on mangroves, such as: Continuing the Journey amongst Mangroves – author Barry Clough; International Society for Mangrove Ecosystems; International Tropical Timber Organization. Thereby introducing fundamental biological characteristics – the structure of mangroves when living in harsh environments.
Mangroves are distinctive tropical plant communities that occupy the intertidal zone between sea and land. Those trees, shrubs, and herbaceous plants have physiological, morphological, and reproductive characteristics adapted to saline, stagnant, and harsh anaerobic environmental conditions (Tomlinson, 1986; Duke, 2006; Hogarth, 2007; Spalding et al., 2010; ITTO, 2012)
