Salt 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...
متن کاملInteractions among plant species and microorganisms in salt marsh sediments.
The interactions among Spartina patens and sediment microbial populations and the interactions among Phragmites australis and sediment microbial populations were studied at monotypic sites in Piermont Marsh, a salt marsh of the Hudson River north of New York, N.Y., at key times during the growing season. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) effectively colonized S. patens but not P. australis, an...
متن کاملFood webs and parasites in a salt marsh ecosystem
Our mothers teach us to grill our meats " well done " and chew them thoroughly. Even if mom did not know why she insisted, both are good precautions against parasites. Parasites may be in our food, but they are not in our food webs. Is it necessary to take the precaution of considering them? In this chapter, we argue that parasites affect important properties of food webs and that it may be dif...
متن کاملSelf-organization and vegetation collapse in salt marsh ecosystems.
Complexity theory predicts that local feedback processes may strongly affect the organization of ecosystems on larger spatial scales. Whether complexity leads to increased resilience and stability or to increased vulnerability and criticality remains one of the dominant questions in ecology. We present a combined theoretical and empirical study of complex dynamics in mineralogenic salt marsh ec...
متن کاملMicrobiological and physical properties of salt marsh and microecosystem sediments.
Sediments from natural marsh and four microecosystem (MES) tanks were compared with reference to ATP, carbon content, and physical properties. Mean values for bacterial numbers and ATP were about twice as high in the MES, carbon content was slightly higher in the artificial systems, and the sediment of the MES was enriched for larger grain sizes and depleted of silt and clay. In the natural mar...
