摘要

In India, Kachchh district of Gujarat represents ecologically one of the most fragile and peculiar desert arid ecosystems, where several unique species of terrestrial and aquatic plants and animals exist. Among these, vast saline mudflats of the Rannof Kachchh along with the two Gulfs are important wetlands that cover large area in Gujarat'. Kachchh is also a home of mangroves, which represent the phylogenetically unrelated groups of plant species that thrive along tropical and subtropical coastlines and are adapted to tolerate saline environments in the intertidal zone. The total mangrove area of the world has been assessed2 at approximately 18.15 m ha, with estimates of Indian mangrove wetlands ranging from 681,000 ha (ref. 3) to 500,000 ha (ref.4). The mangroves of Gujarat (22.55%) are the second largest after the Sunderbans (46.39%) in the mainland of India. Among the inland mangrove communities, Avicennia marina represents the only sacred grove species of the world's inland mangroves. In general A. marina occurs in fringing to intermediate tidal zone, but the sacred grove of the mangrove in Shravan Kavadia is in a totally land-locked position having no surface connection to the sea. It is located near the famous temple of Shravan Kavadia, aHindu pilgrimage site.
