Mangrove vulnerability model of Langkawi using geospatial method / Nurhafizha Nordin

A mangrove is a type of woody tree or shrub that grows along sheltered coasts in tropical or subtropical climates. The many species of mangroves aren't strictly linked to one another, but they do have the remarkable capacity to flourish in salty soil within reach of the tides. To achieve this g...
