Louis XVI was King of France when the monarchy was overthrown by the French Revolution. He was guillotined in 1793.
Louis was born at Versailles on 23rd August 1754. In 1770, he married Marie Antoinette, daughter of the emperor and empress of Austria, a match intended to consolidate an alliance between France and Austria. In 1774, Louis succeeded his grandfather Louis XV as king of France.
Louis initially supported attempts by his ministers Jacques Turgot and later. Jacques Necker to relieve France’s financial problems. French’s support for the colonist in the American War of independence had brought the country to the verge of bankruptcy. Meanwhile, accusations of frivolity, extravagance and scandalous behavior against the qqueen. Marie Antoinette, further discredited the monarchy.
In 1789, to avert the deepening crisis, Louis agreed to summon the Estates-General (a form of parliament, but without real power) in order to try and raise taxes. This was the first time the body had met since 1614. Angered by Louis’ refusal to allow the three Estates – the first (clergy). Second (nobles) and Third (commons) – to meet simultaneously, the Third Estate proclaimed itself a National Assembly, declaring that only it had the right to represent the nation.
Rumours that the king intended to suppress the assembly provoked the stroming of the Bastille prison, a symbol of repressive royal power, on 14th July 1789. In October, Louis and his family were forced by the mob to return to Paris from their palace at Versailles. In June 1791, they attempted to escape, which was considered proof of Louis’ treasonable dealings with foreign powers. He was forced to accept a new constitution, thereby establishing a constitutional monarchy.
Nonetheless, against a background of military defeat by Austria and Prussia, the revolutionary leadership was becoming increasingly radicalized. In September 1792, the new National Convention abolished the monarchy and declared France a republic, Louis was found guilty of treason and executed at the guillotine on 21st January 1793. Marie Antoinette was executed nine months later.

Mangrove Trees
A mangrove is atropical marine tree or shrub of the genus Rhizhopora. Mangrove have special aerial roots and salf-filtering tap roots that enable them to thrive in brackish water (brackish water is salty, but not as salty as sea water).
There are several species of mangrove trees found all over the world. Some prefer more salinity, while others like to be very close to a large fresh water source (such as a river). Some prefer areas that are sheltered from waves. Some species have their roots convered with sea water every day during high tide. Other species grow on dry land, but are still part of the ecosystem.
Mangrove needs to keep their trunk and leaves above the surface of the water. Yet they also need to be firmly attached to the ground so they are not moved by waves. There are three types of mangrove roots that play an important role for it:
1. support roots which directly pierce the soil.
2. level-growing roots which twist upwards and downwards, with the upward twist emerging on the water surface.
3. level-growing roots whose downward twist (sub-roots) appear on the water surface.
Any part of a root that appears above the water flows oxygen to the plant under water surface. As the soil begins to build up, these roots produce additional roots that become embedded in the soil.
