Salt marshes contain abiotic factors that release harshsalinity or too much amount of salt dissolved on their soil solution.Here are some of the abiotic factors that characterize salt marshes=> High amount of salinity=> anaerobic soil=> toxic from sulphide=> high temperature=> sudden changes to its photoperiod=> scour and drag=> The nutrient ions result to low proportion of the total amount present inthe soil.Thus, salinity and flooding are the major factors that affect salt marshspecies
