Abstract
The intertidal regions around the coasts represent an unmeasured, and perhaps unmeasurable area, which changes from day to day and season to season as spring and neap tides alternate, and with the influence of the equinoxes. Within this area many physical parameters which affect the growth of plants and animals fluctuate widely. At low tide on a hot day, crystalline salt may be present on the soil surface, and the salinity of rock and salt marsh pools will rise as evaporation occurs. Following heavy rain virtually all the salt may be leached out or washed away. At high tide the degree of salinity at a given spot at a given time will depend on the relative influences of local river flow, tidal currents, and rain and winds which can affect both. Similarly temperature will be affected by seasons, by diurnal rhythms and by local weather conditions. Any isothermal map can only be true for a given time and place: as seasons and currents change, there can be a wide range of temperature readings applicable to a particular local area.
