Figure 2From: Fluxes of water, sediments, and biogeochemical compounds in salt marshesTwo examples of water paths in a salt marsh, computed on the basis of water surface gradients (e.g., Rinaldo et al.1999), and related travelling times. During flood, the water moves first in the channels and then on the marsh surface. The travelling times for all marsh locations need to be computed in order to determine the distribution f.Back to article page
