Dual-disturbance of grazing and flooding on saltmarsh micro-food webs was studied. Grazing effects on soil community structure were strongest in less inundated marsh. Cattle grazing increased organism biomass or abundance in less inundated marsh. Low trophic level organisms were more vulnerable to grazing than high trophic levels.
