Marsh
Freshwater or marine wetland ecosystems characterized by poorly drained mineral soils and by plant life dominated by grasses. Fewer plant species grow in marshes than on well-watered but not waterlogged land.
Tidal Marsh: Low, flat marshlands traversed by channels and tidal hollows, subject to tidal inundation; normally, the only vegetation present is salt-tolerant bushes and grasses.
Tillage: Plowing, seedbed preparation, and cultivation practices.
Marsh: A type of wetland that does not accumulate appreciable peat deposits and is dominated by herbaceous vegetation. Marshes may be either fresh water or saltwater and tidal or non-tidal.

medfly - the Mediterranean fruit fly, a flying insect.
marsh
Periodically flooded or continually wet areas having the surface not deeply submerged. It is covered dominantly with sedges, cattails, rushes, or other hydrophytic plants. Subclasses include freshwater and saltwater marshes. See also swamp.
marsh A marsh is commonly differentiated from a swamp on the basis of its herbaceous vegetation (grasses, sedges, reeds, etc.) in contrast to the tree vegetation of swamps.

Salt marsh: A low coastal grassland frequently inundated by the tide.
Salt water: Water that contains a relatively high percentage (over 0.5 parts per thousand) of salt minerals.
Salt Marsh
A macrohabitat comprised of emergent rooted macrophytes in a soft sedimentary substrate tolerant of long periods of partial submersion along the shores of estuaries and sheltered coasts.
marshes; other common names include swamps and bogs.

the science that studies the remains of plants and animals in such habitats as lakes, bogs, and marshes. Diatom frustules, pollen grains, insects, and other animal remains are preserved in these areas of poor decomposition.

Methane is released naturally into the air from anaerobic environments such as marshes, swamps, and rice fields, and from symbiotic microbes in the guts of ruminant animals (such as cattle, sheep, and camels), and sewage sludge.
Wetlands generally include swamps, marshes, bogs, estuaries, and other inland and coastal areas, and are federally protected. Wetlands frequently serve as recharge/discharge areas and are known as "nature's kidneys" since they help purify water.

Organisms that are pathogens and are obliged to live on or in other organisms, often causing disease or death.
Areas where fresh water from rivers mixes with salt water from nearshore ocean. They include bays, mouths of rivers, salt marshes and lagoons. These brackish water ecosystems shelter and feed marine life, birds and wildlife.
