“…Shaler (1894) made reference to the "mud which is stirred into the sea water by the incoming tide as it rubs upon the bottom and is then distributed among the grass stems where it settles during the time when the motion of the water is arrested." Richards (1934) pointed out that the most potent factor controlling accretion in the Armerietum in marshes of the Dovey estuary is the density of the vegetation.…”

“…However, the amount of suspended matter that marshes receive may be limited by the amount of time they are submerged. This could partly explain why sediment accretion may decrease with increase in elevation in salt marshes (Richards 1934;Richard 1978). Even unvegetated mudflats have been found to accrete faster than nearby vegetated areas of slightly higher elevation (Richard 1978).…”

Flux of Particulate Matter in the Tidal Marshes and Subtidal Shallows of the Rhode River Estuary

1986

There was a net influx of suspended particulate matter to the uppermost part of the Rhode River estuary during the several years of this study. Most of the influx was due to episodic discharges of suspended sediment from the watershed during heavy rains. In contrast, tidal exchange of particulate matter was not related to rainstorms. Sediment composition data and historical records indicate that marsh accretion accounts for only 13% of the sediment trapping although marshes occupy 60% of the study area. Influx of particulate matter to the marshes is directly related to the amount of time they are submerged during tidal cycles.

“…Richards (34) showed that there is an intimate relation between the rate of respiration and the potassium content of the tissues. Working with barley leaves, he demonstrated that respiration increased as the level of potassium concentration was lowered.…”
