摘      要：This paper discusses in detail the distributions, plant charactenstics and environmental conditions of the coastal vegetated wetlands in China. In contrast to most of fhe European and American salt marshes where Spartina is dominant, the China s ones are dominated by Suaeda in area. Given a great amount of fine sediments by rivers, China s coastal wetlands are accumulated rapidly. Ths factor combined with the human s ruthless reclaimation makes the marshes inmature. The vegetated wetlands are classified into four types, each having differential features in geomorphological background, deposits and vegetation.
