No, brackish water is not more saline than ocean water.
The main difference between the two terms is the salinity, presence of salts in water Saline water is more salty as compare to the brackish water.Brackish water has a TDS(Total Dissolves Solids) upto 10,000 ppm.while Saline water has a TDS more then 10,000 ppm.Sea water is more salty then Saline water and has a TDS of 35,000 ppm ore more
Saltwater. A saline solution. Brackish water.
Foe example: brine, saline water, brackish water.
It is called "fresh water" (rather than salt water, or brackish water which has substantially more salt in it).
Brackish water (0,05-3% salt), saline water (3-5 % salt), brine (over 5 % salt).
The terminology (in English) is:- brackish water: 0,05-3 % salt- saline water: 3-5 % salt- brine: over 5 % salt
Salt water and brackish water are different in terms how the amount of salt. You can say salt water is brackish, since brackish water and salt water both contain salt. However, salt water has more salt than brackish water, since brackish water is a mix between salt water and fresh water (so it has less salt).
- Brackish water: 0,05-3 % - Saline water: 3-5 % - Brine: over 5 %
Brackish?
Mangroves are various kinds of trees up to medium height and shrubs that grow in saline coastal sediment habitats in the tropics and subtropics- mainly between latitude 25° N and 25° S.
Everything I have read says this plants does not grow in water. It is in a genus of approximately 175 succulents. They plants doe not need alot of water. Think of a cactus.
