One consequence of increased nutrient levels is proliferation of opportunistic macroalgae. We sought to understand spatial and temporal dynamics of ephemeral macroalgal mats and to examine their effects on salt marsh in a eutrophic estuary in central California. A time series analysis spanning 80 years revealed that algal wrack has increased exponentially in frequency on the salt marsh, and was highly correlated with nutrient concentrations in the estuary, which have increased along with fertilizer use. Analysis of sediment δ¹⁵N showed a dramatic increase in nutrient loads attributable to agricultural fertilizer over the past 50 years. We monitored 15 salt marsh plots along the bank edge and detected a negative relationship between algal wrack cover and salt marsh cover, flowering, and canopy height. Moreover, algal wrack led to retreat of vegetation from the bank edge, and increased bank erosion. We also experimentally added algal wrack to salt marsh edge plots. Algal addition decreased salt marsh cover, flowering, and canopy height, and increased retreat rate. By integrating time series analyses, isotope data, algal and marsh monitoring and manipulative experiments, we have identified robust linkages between increased anthropogenic nutrient loading, increased algal wrack cover, reduction in marsh resilience and conversion of marsh habitat to mudflat through bank erosion. Decreasing nutrient inputs to eutrophic estuaries is thus essential for conservation and restoration of salt marshes and enhancing their resilience in the face of sea level rise."
