Abstract

  • Wetlands are parts of landscapes that merge from wet to dry: swamps, marshes, bogs, and similar areas. They lie between the sea and the land, at the mouth of a river, at the edge of a lake, or in low-lying fields. They are areas inundated or saturated by surface or ground water frequently enough, and for long enough periods each time, to support vegetation that is mostly adapted to saturated soil conditions. Intertidal salt marshes are a type of wetland that is generally a feature of the earth's temperate regions. Intertidal salt marshes develop where river or marine sediments are available and where there is shelter from the direct attack of ocean waves: behind sand spits, behind barrier islands, or (as on the Oregon coast) within estuaries of large rivers and protected bays (figure 1). Oregon's estuaries and bays are small compared _with those on other North American shorelines, so the extent of intertidal marshlands has never been great on our coast.
