Tomaga-River Inter-Tidal Wetlands

Biosphere

samphire turns red and drops leaves to combat hypersalinity eg Grey mangrove absorbs and salt through leaves

certain plants must adopt to soil conditions

Decomposing flora/fauna increase soil fertility. Crabs/whelks airate the soil allowing for increased decomposition

lithosphere is a habitat for high Biodiversity eg, semiphore and soldier crabs

Lithosphere

lithospher is affected by the amount of tidal erosion

Atmosphere

Local landforms (mts) increase likelihood of orographic rainfall, may effect shade and exposure on Tidal Wetlands and influence humidity levels.

insolation can reduce soil moisture

Hydrosphere

Flood/ storm events may erode the upstream lithosphere increasing turbidity and threatening the photosynthesis

open delta allows free movement of the tides and deposition of sand sediment

tidal flow waterlogs soil twice daily necessitating mangrove pneumatophors

Water body moderates temperatures

lithospher provides ground water to woodlands

River/creek flow provides rich alluvial soil, with nutrients
