Ep. 137 Mangrove Forests
from Petri Dish Hosted by Petri Dish
Nathan had a magical experience recently in a mangrove forest and because Sean is a good older brother, Petri Dish is covering the ins and outs about this ecosystem! Learn about the cool adaptations that allow these plants to survive in salty waters, including being able to secrete salt crystals out of their leaves!
