Abstract: Mangroves, forested wetland ecosystems located along the coasts, have various ecological functioning including reducing the energy of wind and current, protecting coastlines, and sequestering carbon dioxide to mitigate global climate change. Due to the special geographicalenvironmentof their habitats, studies on mangrove wetland model are still limited compared to inland wetland. To promote the researches on mangrove wetland models, we classified current models in mangrove studies into three types based on their function, including vegetation growth and production models, hydrological models, and material and energy flow models. We further reviewed the research progress of related models. We proposed that: (1) the effectiveness of current mangrove wetland models in different regions and scales should be further verified, and (2) further investigation should focus on model researches related to ecosystem services and vegetation restoration projects.
