“…Smooth eordgrass (Spartina alterniflora) has been observed growing throughout the intertidal zone (mean high water to mean low water) on the Atlantic and gulf coasts except where the tidal range exceeds about 2.0 meters (Johnson and York, 1915;Chapman, 1940;Redfield, 1972;Woodhouse, Seneca, and Broome, 1972;Rowntree, 1973;Knutson, 1977aKnutson, , 1977b.…”

There have been many recent attempts to establish salt marshes in the coastal United States. Plantings are generally made for the purpose of shore protection, dredged material stabilization, or habitat development. During 1980 a survey was made of recent and historic salt marsh planting projects. Data were collected in 104 planted marshes in 12 coastal states. The relative stability of these plantings was compared to physical indicators of wave climate severity (fetch, shore slope, offshore depth, shore configuration, sediment grain size, orientation with respect to prevailing and storm winds, and proximity to boat traffic).Fetch, shore configuration, and sediment grain size were found to be related to planting stability. Using these parameters, a system was developed for evaluating potential marsh development sites.

“…From a study of the literature on the salt-marsh algae, it appears that some combinations obtained by applying the McQuitty method had already been reported, among others by COTTON (1912), CARTER (1931, 1932a, REES (1935), CHAPMAN (1937CHAPMAN ( , 1938CHAPMAN ( , 1939CHAPMAN ( , 1940CHAPMAN ( , 194l, 1959, NIENHUIS (1970) and NIENHUIS and SIMONS (197l). From the 7 vegetation-units found by NIENHUIS (1970) on the salt-marshes of the Grevelingen several were confirmed by this method.…”

“…The zonation of plants across tidal height in salt marshes is one of the most striking features of these habitats and has long attracted the attention of researchers (Johnson and York 1915, Chapman 1940, Ranwell 1971. Typically, plants in salt marsh habitats are restricted to particular tidal heights leading to pronounced bands of specific species of plants paralleling marsh shorelines at specific elevations.…”
