Wetlands tidal

The balance in tidal wetlands is complicated by the tidal inflow and outflow of water across the submerged sediments and the greater influence of subsurface leaching under the large tidal head of water.

Given the abundance of Fe in soils, the variety of mineral forms that it may take, and the complex interactions of those mineral forms with other metals, Fe minerals often play an essential role in the overall control of metal interactions in the soil. This is especially true in the rhizosphere, where as discussed above, microbially mediated cycling of Fe between oxidized and reduced forms can be rapid. Wetland plants can increase metal sequestration by driving the formation of Fe plaque, particularly in tidal wetland soils, where burial is rapid. The binding of metals to Fe plaque in the rhizosphere is one reason that wetland plants have been investigated for the phytoremediation of metal-contamuiated sites (Weis and... 

The amounts and profile distribution of various sulfur forms in Louisiana coastal marshes are important in understanding sulfur cycling as related to the origin and type of tidal wetland marshes. Sulfur forms and distribution were determined in P. hemitomon freshwater marsh, a S. patens brackish marsh, and a S. alterniflora salt marsh along a salinity gradient in Barataria Basin, Louisiana. Soil samples were fractionated into acid volatile sulfur (AVS), elemental sulfur, HCl-soluble sulfur, pyrite sulfur, ester sulfate sulfur, carbon-bonded sulfur, and total sulfur (see Chapter 11 for details).
