Summary:Research on the ecology of Delaware's tidal salt marsheshas focused on nutrient and energy budgets of such areas. Theflux of various forms of phosphorus and nitrogen in the waterentering and leaving the marshes has been investigated, the roleof bacteria in nutrient cycling has been studied and the productionof the angiosperms has been estimated. The role of algaein this system has not been previously investigated. In thisstudy some aspects of the algae's role in the nutrient and energycycles and the ecological factors that influence this role havebeen measured.
