Dispersal potential of a tidal river and colonization of a created tidal freshwater marsh
Background and aims A created tidal freshwater wetland, with no extant seed bank, was monitored to evaluate the colonization potential of a tidal river, vegetation and seed bank changes, and also species persistence. Methodology The 32.3-ha mitigation, adjacent to the Delaware River, was completed in 1994. Three sites, with differing completion dates, and three locations (channel edge, midpoint...

متن کاملTransport of dissolved inorganic carbon from a tidal freshwater marsh to the York River estuary
The cycling of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) and the role of tidal marshes in estuarine DIC dynamics were studied in a Virginia tidal freshwater marsh and adjacent estuary. DIC was measured over diurnal cycles in different seasons in a marsh tidal creek and at the junction of the creek with the adjacent Pamunkey River. In the creek, DIC concentrations around high tide were controlled by the ...
متن کاملEmergy Analysis of Tidal Freshwater Marsh and Mudflat Sportfish Communities on Anacostia River, Washington, D.C
The ecological role of tidal freshwater marshes as important fish spawning and nursery habitat has been studied, although fish utilization of associated intertidal mudflats have not been as extensively investigated. Using the same sampling methodology, fish surveys of three separate areas of the Anacostia River in Washington, D.C. were conducted using a boat based electrofishing unit. The sport...
متن کاملSalt Marsh Tidal Channels
Salt marsh tidal channels are highly sinuous. For this project, field surveys and aerial photographs were used to characterize the planform of tidal channels at China Camp Marsh in the San Francisco Bay, California. To model the planform evolution, we assume that the topographic curvature of the channel centreline is a key element driving meander migration. Extraction of curvature data from a p...
