Wetlands, and specially salt marshes, represent the final stage of the filling of depressions, embayments, levelling of marine delta plains and other depositional environments. Due to their origin, they are porous media, with high permeability, permanently flooded, or with very shallow oscillating groundwater table. They are rich in wildlife and among the most primary producers environments in ...
