There is evidently the greatest seasonal variation in salinity levels and possibly represents an area of relatively longer duration of moderate salinity where Gewa is the dominant woody species. It is often mixed with Sundri, which is able to displace in circumstances such as artificially opened canopies where Sundri does not regenerate as effectively.

WildlifeofBangladesh Wood is the main fuel for cooking and other domestic requirements. It is not surprising that population pressure has had an adverse effect on the indigenous forests . By 1980 only about 16 percent of the land was forested, and forests had all but disappeared from the densely populated and intensively cultivated deltaic plain. Aid organizations in the mid 1980s began looking into the possibility of stimulating small scale forestry to restore a resource for which there was no affordable substitute. The largest areas of forest are in the Chittagong Hills and the Sundarbans . The Evergreen forest evergreen and deciduous forests of the Chittagong Hills cover more than Convert 4600 km2 mi2 and are the source of teak for heavy construction and boat building, as well as other forest products. Domesticated elephants are still used to haul logs. The Sundarbans, a tidal mangrove forest covering nearly Convert 6000 km2 mi2 along the Bay of Bengal , is the source of timber used for a variety of purposes, including pulp for the domestic paper industry , poles for electric power distribution, and leaves for thatching for dwellings.
