Testing of the biochemical properties of selected mangrove plants.
Determining the biochemical compounds used by Red mangrove (Rhizophora mangle) and Tall-stilt mangrove (Rhizophora apiculata) against various physicochemical factors in the seawater is the main goal of this current investigation. Using the standard equipment from Extech, the researchers characterized several physico-chemical factors of the seawater in Bang Sai, Chonburi such as water temperature, TDS, dissolved oxygen, electrical conductivity, salinity, transparency, water pH, air temperature, and relative humidity. Based on the experimentations, results and gathered data, the researchers discovered that there was a significant difference (p<0.05) in all of the physico-chemical factors measured in the natural habitat of mangroves in Bang Sai, Chonburi, Thailand such as water temperature, transparency, dissolved oxygen, total dissolved solids, electrical conductivity, water pH, air temperature, salinity, and relative humidity. Moreover, the selected mangroves contain diverse biochemical compounds that protect them from varying physico-chemical conditions in their habitat. For the improvement of the study, the researchers recommended conducting further research to evaluate the other parameters in the seawater and expanding the investigations to more locations in Bang Sai, Chonburi for the current physico-chemical factors that could affect the survival of various mangrove species in the intertidal zones.
