| Notes | Marshes provide essential ecological services by cleaning water, preventing flooding, sequestering carbon and offering valuable habitats. In order to understand the physical parameters of marshes, natural resource managers need to understand their hydrology. In this article, the authors offer a simple model that has proven to be accurate that allows for a rapid picture of a complex environment. In addition to facilitating predictions of marsh water levels, the model can help with understanding soil chemistry, vegetation zonation and implications of sea level rise. |
