Climate change has several components of varied nature and scale that affect the ecosystems of the planet Earth. For mangroves, however, the most relevant variables include changes in sea level, high water events, storminess, precipitation, temperature, atmospheric CO2 concentration,as well as human responses to climate change.
I attached 2 links and 1 paper that review this literature.
Hope i thelps.

This paper covers many of your questions (link 1).
The second is open and very good as well but not quite on your topic (attached).
This is on topic as well (link 3).

No all mangroves do not exhibit uniform resilience to climate change induced salinity alteration. They differ from each other as per my knowledge. The following links may be pulled out to read. Thanks

All mangroves do not respond to climate change induced salinity alteration exactly in the same way. It is different for different species of mangroves of the world. It also varies between sites due to difference in values of various physico-chemical variables.

Dear
As per the other comments do all mangroves not have uniform resilience. This is real in the natural ecosystem. Mangroves are horizontally separated in their distribution, in the inter-tidal zone, according to the salinity variations. The important fact that we do consider is the salinity variation (whether from climate change). We do not know that how far the distribution pattern vary with the sea-level rise and subsequent salinity variation. It may possible to see that the mangroves line could be shifted towards the land or some portion may lost, depending on the geography of the area. Resilience of mangroves to the salinity increase not only determined by a single factor but other factors too such as inundation, geographic changes, depth, freshwater inputs, etc. The resilience level of each mangrove species varies from the other.
As informed by all the researchers above, each mangrove will exhibit differences in resilience.
