Observation Narrative ? The plot was sampled at low tide when much substrate was exposed. The sample captures a tidal marsh on the edge of Pitts Creek. The marshes just upstream are classic oligohaline marshes, but this sample is located far enough downstream that the influence of salinity is greater. Here, Spartina alterniflora mixes with S. cynosuroides in a typical riverine mesohaline marsh.
