Abstract
Research on the ecology of Delaware's tidal salt marshes
has focused on nutrient and energy budgets of such areas. The
flux of various forms of phosphorus and nitrogen in the water
entering and leaving the marshes has been investigated, the role
of bacteria in nutrient cycling has been studied and the production
of the angiosperms has been estimated. The role of algae
in this system has not been previously investigated. In this
study some aspects of the algae's role in the nutrient and energy
cycles and the ecological factors that influence this role have
been measured.
