what are the factors affecting distribution of slat marshes
weather:storms can erode marsh, sediment supply:can enhance or diminish available slit , human: commercial, industrial+recreational activity can damage marsh, sea level rise: rises can upset equilibrium,climate: affect species type, river regime
