Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mangrove swamps provide important habitat for many species of plants and animals. The destruction of mangrove swamps can lead to the loss of these species, and can also result in coastal erosion and sediment accumulation. Both deposition (B) and the growth of coral reefs (C) are not directly linked to the destruction of mangrove swamps. The increase in variety of aquatic species (A) may occur in some cases where the mangrove swamp is replaced with alternative habitat, but it is not a guaranteed outcome.
