Marshes provide habitat for many types of plants and animals that have adapted to living in flooded conditions.[1] The plants must be able to survive in wet mud with low oxygen levels. Many of these plants therefore have aerenchyma, channels within the stem that allow air to move from the leaves into the rooting zone.[1] Marsh plants also tend to have rhizomes for underground storage and reproduction. Familiar examples include cattails, sedges, papyrus and sawgrass. Aquatic animals, from fish to salamanders, are generally able to live with a low amount of oxygen in the water. Some can obtain oxygen from the air instead, while others can live indefinitely in conditions of low oxygen.[3] Marshes provide habitat for many kinds of invertebrates, fish, amphibians, waterfowl and aquatic mammals.[4] Marshes have extremely high levels of biological production, some of the highest in the world, and therefore are important in supporting fisheries.[1] Marshes also improve water quality by acting as a sink to filter pollutants and sediment from the water that flows through them. Marshes (and other wetlands) are able to absorb water during periods of heavy rainfall and slowly release it into waterways and therefore reduce the magnitude of flooding.[5] The pH in marshes tends to be neutral to alkaline, as opposed to bogs, where peat accumulates under more acid conditions<br /> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marshes" rel="nofollow">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marshes</a></p> Wed, 08 May 2013 07:10:24 -0700 2005-04-09T12:59:20-08:00 nobody@flickr.com (InAweofGod'sCreation) tag:flickr.com,2004:/photo/3653416615 Fresh Water Marsh Rte 236 <p>South Berwick ME.

Familiar examples include cattails, sedges, papyrus and sawgrass. Aquatic animals, from fish to salamanders, are generally able to live with a low amount of oxygen in the water. Some can obtain oxygen from the air instead, while others can live indefinitely in conditions of low oxygen.[3] Marshes provide habitat for many kinds of invertebrates, fish, amphibians, waterfowl and aquatic mammals.[4] Marshes have extremely high levels of biological production, some of the highest in the world, and therefore are important in supporting fisheries.[1] Marshes also improve water quality by acting as a sink to filter pollutants and sediment from the water that flows through them. Marshes (and other wetlands) are able to absorb water during periods of heavy rainfall and slowly release it into waterways and therefore reduce the magnitude of flooding.[5] The pH in marshes tends to be neutral to alkaline, as opposed to bogs, where peat accumulates under more acid conditions<br /> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marshes" rel="nofollow">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marshes</a></p> InAweofGod'sCreation york blue me south maine marsh berwick rte 236 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/deed.en http://www.flickr.com/photos/nhoulihan/3647766496/ <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/nhoulihan/">InAweofGod'sCreation</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/nhoulihan/3647766496/" title="Seaside Goldenrod at the bridge"><img src="http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3386/3647766496_ff00768039_m.jpg" width="240" height="180" alt="Seaside Goldenrod at the bridge" /></a></p> <p>Rte 103 bridge</p> Tue, 07 May 2013 10:35:07 -0700 2004-08-07T11:39:56-08:00 nobody@flickr.com (InAweofGod'sCreation) tag:flickr.com,2004:/photo/3647766496 Seaside Goldenrod at the bridge <p>Rte 103 bridge</p> InAweofGod'sCreation york bridge me river harbor boat seaside fishing maine goldenrod buoy http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/deed.en http://www.flickr.com/photos/nhoulihan/3671631743/ <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/nhoulihan/">InAweofGod'sCreation</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/nhoulihan/3671631743/" title="Winterberry at the Brook"><img src="http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3579/3671631743_89d2ae144f_m.jpg" width="240" height="238" alt="Winterberry at the Brook" /></a></p> <p>Cape Porpoise Land Trust Land<br /> <br /> Ilex verticillata, Winterberry Holly, or Winterberry is our native, wetland holly that loses it leaves each autumn.
