DMSP is present in a number of marsh plants, but only in Spartina altemiflora (191 and S. anglica (221 is it particularly abundant. Spartina altemiflom is the dominant species in temperate marshes of North America but not in marshes or wetlands at lower latitudes. To date, most DMS emission measurements have been made in marshes dominated by S. altemiflora. Emission rates in areas having other marsh grasses, with lower DMSP content, are likely to be considerably lower. Estimates of DMS emission from saltmarshes in general which are based on fluxes from S. altemiflora without considering the species of grass are likely to be considerably overestimated. 

Salt marsh plants, in turn, reflect mainly sediment contaminant loads rather than the dissolved fraction, given their uptake route via the root system. Some research has been performed on the genera Spartina and Phragmites,29-33 which accumulate metals essentially in the underground... 

Differential metal concentrations in tissues or organs, as well as the growth rates and production of sea grasses78 and salt marsh plants,81 have been used to calculate the potential cycling/turnover of metals within a system and/or the annual export of contaminants from an estuarine environment to adjacent coastal waters. Similar studies have been performed for macroalgae23 and have provided valuable information on contaminant transport and bioavailability processes within and between aquatic ecosystems, since contaminants associated with decaying plant biomasses will become bio-available through herbivory or the detritivore food web.

Stable sulfur isotopes can be effectively used to examine important geochemical processes associated with redox changes in sedimentary environments. For example, S042- reduction in salt marsh sediments yields isotopically depleted 534S porewater sulfide the uptake of H2S by marsh plants also results in isotopically depleted [Pg.173]

In the leaching phase, soluble compounds are rapidly lost from fresh detritus over a scale of minutes to weeks (figure 8.15 Wilson et al., 1986). In the case of the marsh plant 5. altemiflora, as much as 20 to 60% of the original material can be lost during this phase (Wilson et al., 1986). These soluble DOM compounds released from detrital particles are rapidly used by a high abundance of free bacteria in the surrounding water column (Aneiso et al., 2003). Much of this leached material likely consists of short-chain carbohydrates, proteins, and fatty acids (Dunstan et al., 1994 Harvey et al., 1995).
