“…At Arne Peninsula, this resulted in marsh emergence, whereas at Newton Bay, where Spartina sediments are not so well established, it served to prevent salt-marsh submergence. Ranwell et al (1964) and Hubbard and Stebbings (1968) both note the low altitude of Spartina remains in fossil cores from Poole Harbour, and suggest that they could be evidence of a rise in RSL since Spartina colonisation. These authors also note that the low altitudes could be explained by compaction of the wet, rapidly accreting Spartina sediments.…”

“…Elevation largely determines the frequency and duration of tidal fl ooding (Packham & Willis 1997), not in the least so in the study areas, where no strong differentiation in levees and backlands appears (Hoffmann et al 1996), and hence levee structures do not prevent inundation of backlands signifi cantly. It was proven that in salt marshes with a regular inundation frequency, a range of abiotic factors varies in close association with this tidal inundation, such as salinity (de Leeuw et al 1991, Rozema & van Diggelen 1991, sediment texture (Othman 1980, Thomson et al 1991, immersion duration (Ranwell et al 1964), soil redox potential (Armstrong et al 1985, Groenendijk et al 1987, disturbance in the form of burial by debris ) and nutrient levels , van Wijnen & Bakker 1999.…”

“…Elevation relative to SHZ was surveyed to a resolution of 2 cm with a Leica NA 820 theodolite (Singapore); reference points were determined in relation to measurements of tidal extremes (Ranwell et al, 1964). Erosion/accretion rate (cm yr -1 ) was calculated as the difference between topographical elevations at every zone between sampling years.…”
