Abstrakt:	This article focuses on concentrations of glyphosate in sediments. Smooth cordgrass (Spartina alterniflora) was accidentally introduced to Willapa Bay, Washington in the late 1800s during an attempt to culture Atlantic oysters (Crassostrea virginica). During the last decade, the distribution of the grass in the Bay increased dramatically, displacing open mudflats and outcompeting other intertidal flora. Glyphosate is known to adsorb to sediments. Therefore, determining the concentrations of glyphosate and its primary breakdown product, aminomethyl-phosphonic acid, in Bay sediments.
