摘　　要：＇Mangrove＇ refers to the various evolutionary lineages of woody plants that occupy the land/saltwater interfaces. While over 10 000 tree species are found at the interface between land and non-saline water, no more than 80 have succeeded in invading intertidal zones to become mangroves. Never- theless, mangroves globally provide key ecological services, including carbon sequestration, sediment accretion, seashore protection and ecosystem productivity. Thus, studying the origin, evolution and diversification of mangroves is of scientific importance and has deep ecological and environmen- tal implications.‘Mangrove’ refers to the various evolutionary lineages of woody plants that occupy the land/saltwater interfaces.While over 10 000 tree species are found at the interface between land and non-saline water,no more than 80 have succeeded in invading intertidal zones to become mangroves.Never-
