Figure 8
Box-whisker-dot plot displaying the data of regenerated/naturally growing seedlings and the abundance of epi-fauna across different states of mangroves viz. Degraded, Ramganga 2014, Ramganga 2016, Ramganga 2021, Ramganga 2022 and Target pristine reference mangrove forest. Here Ramganga site is the semi-restored site under restoration efforts since 2014. (a) No. of species of regenerated seedlings, (b) No. of regenerated seedlings ha−1, (c) No. of epifaunal species, (d) No. of epifaunal individuals ha−1. Whiskers represent the range of data from highest to lowest with a median value and the dots are the number of data (n) used for analysis. Here n = 10. Values designated with different letters are significantly different at the 5% level.
