A low coastal grassland frequently inundated by the tide.
emergent, estuarine, vegetated wetland habitat characterized by smooth cordgrass ( Spartina alterniflora). Trophic level – functional classification of organisms in an ecosystem according to feeding relationships.
a grassy area near the coastline that is greatly affected by the tides
an estuarine emergent wetland
an intertidal wetland found in protected coastal areas
a type of marsh found in the intertidal transition between land and ocean
A low coastal grassland frequently inundated by tides.
An area of soft, wet land periodically flooded by salt water.
low area adjacent to the sea that is covered with salt-tolerant vegetation and regularly flooded by the high tide; similar inland areas near saline springs or lakes, though not regularly flooded.
vegetated estuarine wetlands that are subjected to either daily inundations or less frequent flooding by salt water
A productive, grassy habitat covered part of the time by estuarine or coastal waters Sewers carrying human waste
Saltwater wetlands that occur along many coasts.
Flat land that is flooded by salt water brought in by tides; it is found along rivers, bays, and oceans.
A coastal habitat consisting of salt-resistant plants residing in an organic-rich sediment accreting toward sea level.
coastal zone between mangrove belt and 'dry land', subject to innundation at high tide
A low coastal grassland frequently overflowed by the tide.
An area vegetated by salt-tolerant plants subject to periodic tidal inundation by salt water.
A coastal wetland that extends landward up to the highest high tide line, that is, the highest spring tide of the year, and is characterized by plants that are well adapted to living in saline soils.
Salt-tolerant vegetation that colonizes the intertidal zones of estuaries (1335), deltas (2225), and lagoons (2255). Located on slightly higher elevations than mud flats, and vegetation zonation reflects subtle changes in elevation.
wetland flooded regularly by tidal, brackish water.
A type of wetland found in high salinity (30-35 ppt) areas along protected estuary shorelines. Prevalent plant species include Spartina alterniflora (smooth cordgrass), Batis maritima (saltwort), Distichlis spicata (saltgrass), and Salicornia sp. (glasswort).

A salt marsh is a type of marsh that is a transitional zone between land and salty or brackish water (e.g., sloughs, bays, estuaries). It is dominated by halophytic (salt tolerant) herbaceous plants. Historically, salt marshes have sometimes been treated as "wastelands", along with other wetlands.
