Alternative Futures for Suisun Marsh --IndexOne of California's most remarkable wetlands, Suisun Marsh is the largest tidal marsh on the West Coast and a major feature of the San Francisco Estuary. This productive and unique habitat supports endemic species, is a nursery for native fishes, and is a vital link for migratory waterfowl. The 6,000-year-old marsh has been affected by human activity, and humans will continue to have significant impacts on the marsh as the sea level rises and cultural values shift in the century ahead. This study includes in-depth information about the ecological and human history of Suisun Marsh, its abiotic and biotic characteristics, agents of ecological change, and alternative futures facing this ecosystem.  Marsh ecologyCaliforniaSuisun MarshSalinityCaliforniaSuisun MarshBrackish water ecologyCaliforniaSuisun MarshWater qualityCaliforniaSuisun MarshSuisun Marsh (Calif.)Historyalternative futures.american west.american wetlands.birds.brackish water march.california.californian wetlands.climate change.cultural values.ecological change.ecological history.ecosystem.endemic species.geomorphic features.human activity.human history.marsh.mirgratory waterfowl.native fishes.natural world.nature.northern california.nursery.phenomenon.rising sea levels.san francisco bay.scientists.suisun marsh.terrestrial vertebrates.tidal estuary.vegitation.west coast.wetlands.wildlife.Marsh ecologySalinityBrackish water ecologyWater quality577.6809794/6NAT010000NAT011000bisacshMoyle Peter B.Manfree Amber D.Fiedler Peggy L.Jackson William FranklinMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910789296603321Suisun marsh3721130UNINA
