dc.description.abstractSalt marshes play a large role in removing pollutants and nutrients from aquatic ecosystems, such as Barnegat Bay, and serve as a vital link between terrestrial watersheds and coastal waters. Biogeochemical processes transform nutrients during transport through the marsh complex, altering the form, concentration and fate of carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus entering the bay. In some cases, water quality models do not account for marsh habitats in the assessment of the watershed flux of nutrients to coastal waters and with increasing coastal development pressures, marshes areas are shrinking, and their benefits will be greatly reduced.en_US
