Marsh Accretion

We examine rates of salt marsh accumulation in three marshes of the outer Bay of Fundy. At each marsh we selected a site in the high marsh with similar vegetation, and thus similar elevation. Accretion rates were estimated by 137Cs, 210Pb, and pollen stratigraphy to estimate rates of change over periods of 30, 100, and ~170 years, respectively. These rates are compared with records from the two closest tide gauges (Saint John, New Brunswick, and Eastport, Maine) to assess the balance of recent marsh accretion and sea-level change. Averaged marsh accretion rates have ranged from 1.3 ± 0.4 to 4.4 ± 1.6 mm·year–1 over the last two centuries. Recent rates are similar to the rate of sea-level change recorded at Eastport, Maine, suggesting that they are in step with recent sea-level change but very sensitive to short-term variation in relative sea level. Based on the pollen stratigraphy in the marsh sediments, the marsh accretion rate was higher during the late 18th to early 19th century. Higher rates probably were due to local increases in relative sea level as a result of neotectonic activity and may have been enhanced by increased sediment deposition through ice rafting.

<em>Abstract.</em>—We examined the spatial and temporal variability of native and alien ichthyoplankton in three habitat types (marsh edge, shallow open-water, and river channel) in one reference and three restored marshes in the Sacramento–San Joaquin Delta, California, during 1998 and 1999. More than 6,700 fish embryos and 25,000 larvae represented by 10 families were collected in 240 tows during the 2-year study. Overall, the assemblage was dominated by alien fishes, but natives were more abundant during winter and spring, whereas aliens were more abundant during summer. Overall abundance was highest in marsh edge habitats, suggesting that this habitat provides favorable larval rearing habitats for many fishes. The reference marsh was dominated by alien species making it difficult to assess whether it had attributes that promoted use by native fish. Ichthyoplankton abundance varied comparably at restored sites of similar configuration. The restored site, with minimal tidal exchange and greater lower trophic productivity, supported the highest densities of alien fish. We conclude that restoration projects in this region of the estuary must consider the potential impacts of alien fishes on natives and evaluate strategies designed to improve recruitment success of native fishes. Specifically, we suggest that restored wetlands that offer only winter and spring inundation periods may provide maximum benefits to natives while limiting access by many alien fishes regardless of specific habitat-use requirements.
