Mangrove seedlings are exposed to several environmental stress factors, which frequently affect the current state of their ecosystems. We examined density, diversity, distribution, survival rates, and biophysical parameters over 900 naturally existing in natural, degraded, restored coastline ecosystems Guyana. Systematic sampling was conducted for 1 year following point-centred quarter method (PCQM) during wet dry seasons. The had greater seedling densities (1546.44–5506.303 individuals/ha), diversity (0.65–0.65), richness (0.46–0.51) when compared natural degraded Seedling rates [41.9–53.4%] were ecosystems, but short-term seasonal variations prevalent Significant disparities observed seeding [df = 8, p < 2.2e-16] also exhibited positive correlations [p 0.05, rs 0.75] with respective locations. showed taller (137.54 ± 4.68 cm) a number leaves (30.87 1.51–107.30 5.54), while stem diameters (3.05 0.11–11.38 0.37 mm). Our findings show that mangrove can exhibit site-specific differences may be influenced by ecosystem type seasonality some extent.
