salt marshes

Page history last edited by michael-270@... 14 years ago

Salt Marshes come from rivers and deposition via flocculation e.g. a river estuary.

 

It forms where there is shelter e.g behind a spit.

 

 

Once these mudflats meet sea level and are uncovered during low tide they are colonised by Eel grass which is the pioneer species.

 

- Eel grass does two things that increase deposition and hold salt marsh together.

 

Eel grass'

     -Roots hold together the salt marsh

     -Slow down the sea currents thus increasing deposition.
