Sapelo Island Marsh Diagram

Transects of Lighthouse Marsh from the high marsh to low marsh. Gradient indicates soil color. Percent coverage not more than 50%
My GEOL 4010 took a trip out to Sapelo Island for a sort of weekend field school. My group is writing on the hypothesis that the beach and the marsh are different because they experience different abiotic mechanical processes. Sort of a 'duh' hypothesis, but those are very important to question. Sometimes they turn out to be wrong.
