What are the abiotic factors in salt marshes?

Biology
1 answer:
nadezda [96]3 years ago
3 0

The abiotic factors in salt marshes  include:

1. High, variable  salinity

2. Low oxygen levels

3. Turbidity

4. Varying temperature

5. Sulphide toxicity

Salt marshes occur in zones between low and high tides. Salt marshes are periodically flooded by tides , so the plants living there have had to adapt to being submerged in salt water.

 Only a limited number of plant and animal species can tolerate the harsh conditions of salt marshes  and therefore salt marshes are generally poor in species.

Conclude Assess what kinds of traits make invertebrate such a diverse group of animals.
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

Invertebrates have a very quick life cycle and die very easily, as a result, they evolve very quickly into many different types of animals. also, they are often very small and their ecosystems are subject to much quicker change than that of vertebrates, meaning that mutations in their genes become relevant more often. Many invertebrates span very large areas (sea animals span most of the oceans, insects span entire continents) and so they evolve to be different species in different places.

Or

They do not have bones, they live on water or land, they can have soft bodies or exoskeletons, and others are parasites.
