Abstract

Silts trapped within broken stems of the reed Phragmites communis form plugs which fall to the marsh floor as organic decay destroys the stem. The plugs form cylindrical plant-wrapped nodules within the sediments. Such structures have formerly been attributed to infilled roots, but the reed rhizomes of the Tay marshes collapse after death and are flattened, not flied.
