Elevation does not change in most parts of Rammegors. The incoming water is clear without any suspended material. This can explain why no significant sedimentation is observed. There is a small sandy area in the northern part of Rammegors, which experiences some bed level change probably due to wind-drifted sand. Overall, the composition of the sediment is approximately stable as the grain size and bulk density results are practically constant over time. Similarly, the compaction of the mature soil did not change in the last three monitoring years due to the new inundation regime. Dead organic material has no noticeable influence on the redox and sulfide concentration in the pore water of the top 10cm in sediment. Hence, the die off of the fresh-water vegetation probability didn’t impact the establishment of salt-marsh vegetation in any relevant way (Van de Lageweg et al. 2019.
