Salt Marsh
A salt marsh is an environment in the upper coastal intertidal zone between land and salt water or brackish water, it is dominated by dense stands of halophytic (salt-tolerant) plants such as herbs, grasses, or low shrubs. These plants are terrestrial in origin and are essential to the stability of the salt marsh in trapping and binding sediments. Salt marshes play a large role in the aquatic food web and the exporting of nutrients to coastal waters. They also provide support to terrestrial animals such as migrating birds as well as providing coastal protection.

Salt Marsh
It is good, that plants have such different demands!
If there would be equal, ideal environment for all plants, than it would look desolate in these damp, saline grounds.
Thus we here may rejoice the juicy, dense ground vegetation, too.
