A comparative analysis carried out to understand the spatial variation in the Ecophysiology of the mangroveAvicennia officinalis along the wetlands of Kannur district, Kerala, India. The present study deals with the recording of variation in the antioxidants and stress parameters in the leaves of Avicennia officinalis present at different area which differ in their land use i.e. industrialization and urbanization. Habitat ecology is studied by analyzing soil and water samples. Biomarkers like malonaldehyde, chlorophyll, proline and antioxidants like Ascorbic acid and Total Glutathione is used to record the stress levels in the leaves of the plant. The study reveals that the mangroves are highly sensitive to the land use of the area and has a negative impact on the growth and development of mangroves.
