商品簡介
In Chinese, mangroves are literally ''''red-tree-forests''''. They are found in the most well known inter-tidal wetlands in Hong Kong. Yet few people visiting this kind of marshy coastal area can identify for sure which plants are ''''true''''; mangroves. Nor can the visitors accurately name any of the crabs and snails there. This book, Hong Kong Mangroves, provides the answers. It gives a comprehensive introduction to the subject. Colour photographs, scientific names in both Chinese and English, simple descriptions of the features of plants and animals commonly found in mangroves, and a glossary are provided.
