Measurements of surface elevation changes over time in the wetlands showed that significant changes in elevation only occurred where emergent marsh vegetation grew (Figure 6). Mean rates of accretion were similar in marshes at both water depths for th ... /; Plant Community and Biomass Inputs; Shallow Wetland Decomposition and Environment; Discussion of Wetland Re-establishment Study; Water Depth and the Effect of Plant Community on C Storage; Spatial Variation in the Hydrologic Environment and C Storage in Marshes; Conclusion; Acknowledgments; References; Limnology of the Nile Delta Lakes. |
