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.

notka56 [123]
The answer to this question is the "coal-burning power or the power plants". Hence, the Airborne mercury has received special attention because it is a widespread and persistent neurotoxin. TA neurotoxin is a substance that damages the brain and the nervous systems. Minute doses can cause nerve damage and other impairments, especially in the young children and the developing fetuses. The majority of the airborne mercury is released by POWER PLANTS or coal-burning plants. Many people are affected and get sick that is why when there is a proposed new power plant project, most people object and opposed.
