The earliest plant colonizers are algae and zostera, which can tolerate submergence by the tide for most of the 12 hour cycle and which trap mud, causing it to accumulate.
Two other colonizer plants are Salicornia, and Spartina, which are both halophytes. Halophytes are plants that can tolerate saline conditions and they grow on the intertidal mudflats with a maximum of four hours' exposure to air every 12 hours.[citation needed] On a large scale halophytes have colonized the halosere on the banks of the Great Salt Lake in Utah.[1] Halosere vegetation can also be found in the salt marshes of the Wadden Sea islands and the zone towards the dunes.[2]
River estuariesedit
In a river estuary, large amount of silt are depositing. Halosere in river estuaries consist of mudflats and the so called sward zone. Halosere sward zones can be found in the Llanrhidian marsh on the Gower Peninsula.[3]
