Abstract
- The restriction of the tidal flow to a salt marsh located in Guilford, CT, caused the development of increased nutrient levels and lowered alkalinity in the sediment and led to the development of severe acidification once water was reintroduced to the sediment layer. The increased acidity level also resulted in the mobilization of metals such as lead, copper and cadmium.
