Abstract

The extended tidal mud flats found in various climate zones are a result of the tides. Using the southern North Sea as their research area, scientists study how ecological processes operate in the threatened “Wadden Sea” habitat

Microscopic studies of thin sections from modem siliciclastic tidal flat sediments in the southern North Sea demonstrate the significant role of microbial mats in the buildup of sedimentary sequences. This is documented by a unit only a few millimetres thick. It starts at the base with a fine-to med

1. The growth of the common cord-grass, Spartina anglica, across many temperate coastlines has resulted in a reduction in the extent of tidal flats. Its colonization has reduced the abundance of macrobenthic fauna and hence has had a direct effect on the feeding of shorebirds. Although the use of ch
