Submerged sediments represent an important component of near-shore coastal systems. Soil scientists have begun to study subaqueous soils from a pedological perspective, and conceptualize these soils as organic or mineral materials, having the ability to support rooted plants, which are submerged by estuarine, marine, or lacustrine water for a period of time such that their pedogenesis reflects an environment dominated by submergence. The objective of this study was to describe and classify subaqueous soils of a shallow, mesotidal, Maine estuary and identify the relationship between soil properties and landscape position.
