Specification

mangrove forests are forests that grow in brackish water and are affected by tides. This forest grows especially in places where there are puddling and accumulation of organic matter. Mangrove ecosystems are characteristic, both because of the puddling resulting in a lack of soil abrasion; high salinity of the soil; as well as experiencing inundation cycles by tides.source

Mangrove forests are a group of woody species that grow along tropical and subtropical shorelines that are sheltered and have a kind of landform with anaerobic soil types.source

Country having mangroves

Mangroves grow in 124 tropical and subtropical countries with an area of around 15.2 million hectares. Indonesia along with four other countries (Australia, Brazil, Nigeria, and Mexico) represent 48% of the world's mangrove forest. The mangrove area in Brazil is estimated at 1.3 million ha, Nigeria (1.1 million ha), and Australia (0.97 million ha), according to research by Spalding et al., 1997.source

Mangrove Wood Charcoal

The mangrove charcoal is one of hard and heavy wood charcoal. Its solid and hard structures make the mangrove charcoal longer last longer than other types of charcoal, giving it more benefits. Specifications as follows; Moisture 5-7%, Volatile matter 15-20%, Ash / dust 3%, Fixed Carbon 70-80% and Calorific value 7,085 kcal / kg.source
