The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Approximately 80 mangrove species exist, all adapted to areas where slow-moving water allows for the deposition of fine sediment and low-oxygen soil conditions.
- These trees cannot endure freezing temperatures, which restricts their distribution to warmer climates.
- Their distinct, stilt-like roots allow the trees to slow the movement of tidal waters, causing the settlement of suspended sediments and acting as a protective barrier to reduce coastal erosion.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Mangrove forest article was read about 91,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 86 and blocks with 97: each hit it takes is cut by 39 %.
