Evaluating the growth and changes of Rhizophora species in five different islands, Delta Tumpat, Kelantan

The lower reaches of River Kelantan form a vast delta (1200 ha) consisting of bay, mangrove and estuary on the Northeast Coast of Peninsular Malaysia. The present study was conducted to assess the mangrove vegetation at Tumpat based on the growth and dynamic evaluation of Rhizophora species (Rhizoph...
