SUMMARY (3) In the grass community, photosynthetic efficiency per unit green biomass declined sharply from mid-May until early June. From late June until late September, the decline continued, but was linear and gradual in both communities. (4) The maximum value for day-time net CO2 assimilation per unit area of salt marsh, between sunrise and sunset, was 0.95 mol m-2 and occurred in late June. During June, July, and August, net CO2 assimilation by both communities accounted for 3.5 + 0-9% of the incident PAR. Whole-season community net CO2 assimilation was estimated using a regression equation for the seasonal course of photosynthetic efficiency and a model for incident solar radiation. The estimate of total CO2 assimilation predicted by the model for the entire growing season (May to October) was 62 mol m-2. The photosynthetic efficiency during June to August was 19%o (1.9%) equivalent to 0-9% of total solar radiation.
