As temperatures warm, black mangroves migrate north

"Warmer temperatures are causing more tropical species to move northward. Among these are black mangroves, whose abundance is steadily increasing in the northern Gulf of Mexico. Black mangroves grow as short trees in a dwarf forest and displace many plants common to Gulf salt marshes." - Excerpt from Dauphin Island Sea Lab.
