Remember Submerged-Upland Tidal Marsh
Submerged-Upland Tidal Marsh Technical Terms
Submerged-Upland Tidal Marsh: An extensive nearly level, intertidal landform composed of unconsolidated sediments (clays, silts, and/or sand and organic materials), a resistant root mat, vegetated dominantly by hydrophytic (water loving) plants. The mineral sediments largely retain pedogenic horizonation and morphology (e.g. argillic horizons) developed under subaerial conditions prior to submergence due to sea level rise; a type of tidal marsh.
