Mangroves are coastal wetland ecosystems of tropical and subtropical regions. Their development and trajectories are mainly driven by water and substrate salinities. Therefore, understanding how main mangrove species respond to salinity gradient when transplanted in natural environment is essential for their restoration. This study assessed the survival, growth, and productivity of Rhizophora racemosa seedlings in response to gradient of salinity. Seedlings were grown in nursery under low (3-5 psu) and medium (15-17 psu) water salinities for thirty days and transplanted to three mangrove sites with various salinities (4.6, 11.41, and 18.27 psu). Seedling survival and growth were monitored monthly for 6 months. At the end of month 6, total biomass was harvested and partitioned. Results showed that growth, survival, and productivity of R. racemosa were mainly influenced not by the salinity under which the propagules were raised in nursery but rather by site. Survival was higher (88.33...
Ex situ collections of Rhizophora mucronata (Jhana), were conserved in the form of living plants in the Sundarban. A few small populations of R. mucronata were found in the Sundarban mangrove forest of Bangladesh and the percentage of regeneration is very poor and seedlings are occurred rare in natural environment. The research was conducted to protect, manage and monitor the planted populations in their wild habitats through Ex situ conservation by the Mangrove Silviculture Division, Bangladesh Forest Research Institute during the period of 2008 to August 2016. Plants were reintroduced to their original or, where necessary, ecologically restored habitats. Alternatively, new areas considered to provide more favorable living conditions as climate change proceeds, can be targeted. Ex situ conservation of R. mucronata is need to be complemented by In situ conservation where appropriate and, in particular, some natural sites are need to be managed. Global changes in population growth and climate change may also affect the ways in which Ex situ sites are designed and managed. Ex situ preservation of R. mucronata in mangrove arboretum of the Sundarban plays an essential role in conserving mangrove diversity. Ex situ conservation helps to provide the flexibility to respond to unforeseen environmental changes and consequent impacts on habitat conservation and utilization of wild plant species. Ex situ collections are sources of plant material for recovery of threatened or endangered species, habitat rehabilitation and restoration, tree improvement, new product development, and a wide variety of research studies. This study provides early information on Ex situ conservation of R. mucronata development in the arboretum of the Sundarban. All these findings reflect that growth performance of R. mucronata is better on 2.5m x 2.5m compared to 2.0m x 2.0m and 1.5m x1.5m spacing in the moderate saline zone of the Sundarban. There is need to updating of IUCN red list for R. mucronata and proper conservation measure should be taken. Introduction Rhizophora mucronata belongs to Rhizophora genus of Rhizophoraceae family and locally known as jhana. A few R. mucronata trees were found in the Sundarban mangrove forest of Bangladesh. Natural regeneration is very poor in natural environment. The natural habitat of R. mucronata is estuaries, tidal creeks and flat coastal areas subject to daily tidal flooding. It seems to be more tolerant of inundation than other mangrove species and often forms an evergreen fringe to mangrove areas. R. mucronata trees are prominent halophytic inhabitants of intertidal zone found in tropical and subtropical climates thriving under varying degrees of salinity, ranging from fresh to levels greater than that of seawater. R. mucronata plant lives up to about 100 years in the Sundarban. Stem contains annual growth rings offering the potential for mangrove dendrochonology (Verheyden et al., 2004a) and dendrochemistry (Verheyden et al., 2004b). R. mucronata is classified as C 3 plants since CO 2 is fixated by the use of intermediates which contain 3 carbon atoms. These 3 carbon atoms are converted into glucose (C 6 H 12 O 6) using light that at most 10% of the salinity of sea water can be found in the sap of the tree. Due to the presence of salt glands on the leaves, the excess of salt can be secreted (Parida and Jha, 2010). Like all Rhizophora species, stilt mangroves are viviparous, meaning that the trees produce seeds hidden in the mature fruit, and these germinate on the parent tree. The dispersal unit, a viviparous seedling, is called a propagule/hypocotyl. Propagules are narrowly cylindrical, elongate, green and smooth with irregular small brown lenticels. There are a number of benefits provided by R. mucronata to living communities. As far as ecological benefits are concerned, R. mucronata act as protection barrier against storms, hurricanes and tsunamis. It also plays a role in avoidance of coast erosion. Its roots trap suspended solids assuring filtering of the upland runoff, protecting the coral reefs and sea grass beds for the negative effect of suspended particles. R. mucronata plants facilitate in reducing global warming by counteracting global heating by its high amount of carbon sequestration (Giri et al., 2011). It provides protection to natural fish diversity in
