TLDR
In this paper, a gully between a saltmarsh and an estuary is studied and it is concluded that particulate matter (both obganic and inorganic) are imported into the marsh.Abstract:
Transport processes were studied in a gully between a saltmarsh and an estuary. After storm tides, ebb currents in the gully reached high values. It is concluded that particulate matter (both obganic and inorganic) are imported into the marsh. Coarse organic debris is exported during storm tides, but this amount is low when compared with the primary production on the marsh. Exports are shown for dissolved organic carbon, ammonia, phosphate and silica, while nitrate and possibly nitrite are imported. Therefore, it seems warranted to conclude that the organic matter producedin situ and imported is mineralized in the marsh.read more

Morphodynamics of Holocene salt marshes: a review sketch from the Atlantic and Southern North Sea coasts of Europe
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the evolution from an organogenic to a sequence of mineralogenic marshes (transgressive overlaps) is accompanied by the initiation and invasive development of a branching network of tidal creeks.

Tidal asymmetry and estuarine morphology
TL;DR: In this paper, the relationship between tidal asymmetry and estuarine morphology is investigated, based on theoretical considerations some general principles are derived and compared with field observations, and the results show that residual sediment transport depends on differences in magnitude and duration between ebb and flood tidal currents.

Sediment accumulation rates, historical input, postdepositional mobility and retention of major elements and trace metals in salt marsh sediments of the Scheldt estuary, SW Netherlands
TL;DR: The distribution of major elements and trace metals has been studied in two radiodated salt marsh sediment cores (core K and core E) of the Scheldt estuary, in order to determine the recent pollution history and to assess the impact of diagenetic processes as mentioned in this paper.

Numerical simulation of vertical marsh growth and adjustment to accelerated sea-level rise, North Norfolk, U.K.
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple one-dimensional mass balance model designed to simulate the vertical adjustment of predominantly minerogenic marsh surfaces to various combinations of sediment supply, tidal levels and regional subsidence is presented.

Structure and Function of Stream Ecosystems
TL;DR: There is a need to identify functional groups of organisms, at least partially independent of traditional taxonomic determinations, in order to address important process-oriented ecological questions.

Between Coastal Marshes and Coastal Waters — A Review of Twenty Years of Speculation and Research on the Role of Salt Marshes in Estuarine Productivity and Water Chemistry
TL;DR: In the salt marsh ecosystem of Sapelo Island, Georgia, Teal's work brought out a number of interesting points, but I think the reason the paper is most often cited is because of its last sentence as mentioned in this paper, which concluded that the tides remove 45% of the production before the marsh consumers had a chance to use it and in so doing permit the estuaries to support an abundance of animals.
