Hello Everyone!
What happens in a brackish marsh when the natural salinity variations are removed?
I am working in a brackish marsh where the water quality objectives are to maintain relatively fresh standards within the marsh throughout the year. Isn't the natural variability of salinity regimes a primary factor associated with the great species (plant, fish, and wildlife) diversity found in Brackish marshes?
Do you know of any literature that would discuss variability within habitats?
Your thoughts, suggestions, and comments would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
