abiotic factorsI don't even know what they mean by tide conditions... Does that mean low/high? or does it have something to do with red-tides? If it means av-low/av-high then maybe - because this could restrict or expand the intertidal zone. seasonal climate change (as opposed to global climate change) ...

So as long as it's not being flushed out, the salt water will stay and evaporate leaving higher concentrations of salt every time a tide comes and goes.
