Abstract/Contents:"Nitrogen fixation occurs in all zones of the salt marsh. Blue-green algae in pools and on the banks of creeks fix nitrogen throughout the year whenever the temperature and light intensity permit. Bare areas in the lower marsh become progressively colonized with blue-green algae during the year and maximum rates of nitrogen fixation are found in late summer and early autumn. Small, but consistent, levels of nitrogen fixation by bacteria are found in many parts of the marsh but at levels below those for blue-green algae. Nitrogen fixation is stimulated in the rhizosphere of Puccinellia maritima. The products of bacterial and algal nitrogen fixation are rapidly utilized by higher plants in the salt marsh."
