Well salt. And minerals and it would have something in it to make the plants grow.
Detritus in a salt marsh refers to the organic matter that results from the decomposition of plant material, such as dead grasses and other vegetation. This nutrient-rich material provides essential food for a variety of organisms, including microorganisms and detritivores, which play a crucial role in the marsh's ecosystem. Detritus contributes to the nutrient cycling and supports higher trophic levels, making it vital for the health and productivity of salt marsh habitats.
If scientists are studying egrets, herons, marsh crabs, and cordgrass in a salt marsh but not the water or rocks, they are focusing on the organismal level of organization. This level examines individual species and their interactions within the ecosystem without considering the abiotic components like water and rocks. Essentially, they are looking at the living organisms and their relationships in that specific habitat.

If an animal were to adapt to a salt marsh, they would have to adapt to the climate. It varies sometimes but mostly they would have to adapt to the water source. In a salt marsh, they have brachish water, which is a mixture of salt water and fresh water, and it usually leads out into another river or stream somewhere close by, but they would have to adapt to the water, which only some animals can.
A salt marsh is not an estuary, but it is often found within estuarine environments. Estuaries are coastal areas where freshwater from rivers meets and mixes with saltwater from the ocean, creating a unique environment. Salt marshes, on the other hand, are coastal wetlands that are inundated with saltwater and characterized by salt-tolerant vegetation, often found along the edges of estuaries. They play a crucial role in providing habitat, filtering pollutants, and protecting shorelines.
Salt marsh snails are preyed upon by a variety of animals, including birds such as herons and shorebirds, as well as crabs and other invertebrates. Additionally, fish, raccoons, and some mammals may also feed on salt marsh snails.
