TL;DR: Fertilization of a low marsh area inhabited by the cord grass,Spartina alterniflora, with inorganic nitrogen and phosphorus compounds was conducted on a monthly basis during the 1972 growing season.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors employed simple regression models, equating spectral radiance indices with Spartina alterniflora biomass to estimate salt marsh biomass, and showed that the considered approach can be successfully used to estimate SMP biomass.

TL;DR: Gross primary production of edaphic algae was estimated for five areas in a high salinity tidal marsh near Lewcs, Delaware, for a year as mentioned in this paper, and the salinity was measured annually for the entire year.

TL;DR: The aboveground and belowground primary production dynamics of two Delaware Bay tidal marshes were determined by the peak live standing crop method and the Smalley (1958) method.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the flood tide is the major source of nitrogen and phosphorus compounds for edaphic algal growth and determines the relative contribution of diatoms and filamentous algae to the community.
