Predicting Plant Zonation in the Salt and Brackish Marshes of Georgia
<p>Tidal marshes provide important economic and environmental functions. There are 1,745 km<sup>2</sup> of tidal marsh habitat along the Georgia coast that can be separated into three distinct marsh types based on salinity levels. Tidal fresh, brackish, and salt marshes occur along a gradient that …

Depositional History of Thousand Acre Marsh From Geophysical and Sedimentological Analyses
… the recent depositional history of Thousand Acre Marsh. Analyses of these data revealed the role of Thousand Acre Marsh as a record keeper of subsurface sediments and the effects of adjacent environments, North Inlet Marsh system, Winyah Bay estuary, river migration and North Island spit, on the …

The response of wetlands to sea level rise: Ecologic, paleoecologic, and taphonomic models
… Foraminiferal assemblages delineate salt to brackish marsh environments, but are absent in fresh marsh sediments. Ostracodes and diatoms occur in all marsh types, but ostracodes are sporadically preserved and diatom thanatocoenoses from different environments become too similar to …

ENHANCEMENT OF A CANOPY REFLECTANCE MODEL FOR UNDERSTANDING THE SPECULAR AND SPECTRAL EFFECTS OF AN AQUATIC BACKGROUND IN AN INUNDATED TIDAL MARSH
… spectral characteristics in an inundated tidal marsh canopy. The aquatic substrate can affect conventional attempts to retrieve canopy characteristics, such as structure information (e.g., canopy height, leaf area index, etc.) or plant species composition. The background reflectance can also …

Plant-habitat interactions in brackish marshes
Estuarine marshes are ecosystems that are situated at the transition zone between land and water and are thus controlled by physical and biological interactions. Marsh vegetation offers important ecosystem services by filtrating solid and dissolved substances from the water and providing habitat. …

Distribution of Foraminifera and Pollen in Coastal Depositional Environments of the Southern Delmarva Peninsula, Virginia, U.S.A.
… pollen types were found in low-energy marsh and mud-flat environments. Canonical variate analysis of pollen data showed that the inner, middle, and outer parts of the lagoon were clearly discriminated suggesting that variations in modern pollen assemblages from the barrier lagoon can be …

Accumulation of sediment and radionuclides in tidal marshes of the Murderkill River Estuary, Delaware
… and rates of sediment accumulation and tidal marsh accretion in the Murderkill River estuary, Delaware, with special emphasis placed on changes in accumulation rates and sediment physical properties associated with historical land-use practices, such as mosquito ditching. Over 90% of United …
