The method of flow analysis, which is similar to economic input-output
analysis, is presented as a means of making flow models of ecological
systems more useful to environmental managers. This paper considers
as an illustration the extent to which nitrogen fertilizer added
to Spartina salt marsh sediments can enhance shellfish growth. Nitrogen
flow models of both the Barataria Bay salt marsh complex of coastal
Louisiana and the Sippewissett Marsh of western Cape Cod, Massachusetts,
are analyzed. The analysis shows the transfer of added nitrogen
to shellfish growth via Spartina growth, decomposition, and detrital
feeding to be considerably less efficient that its transfer to Spartina
growth itself. These results are similar for both marsh systems,
despite their great physical differences and despite the inclusion
of considerably more microbial processing of nitrogen in the Barataria
Bay model than in the Sippewissett models. The results suggest that
the most efficient mechanism by which added nitrogen could enhance
shellfish growth in salt marshes may have to bypass the route through
the Spartina life cycle.

This paper, a result of ten years of research by a large group of
colleagues, students, and assistants in the Great Sippewissett salt
marsh project (Massachusetts), outlines the authors' ideas as to
how primary production and decomposition of organic matter are governed
in a salt marsh ecosystem. They consider the fate of carbon fixed
in a salt marsh, focusing principally on decay and export to coastal
waters. The authors also speculate on the effects of eutrophication
on production and decay in salt marsh ecosystems.
