Burrowing Shrimps Seagrass Dynamics in Shallow Water Meadows Off - Unesco-Ihe Phd

Informationen zum Autor Hildie Maria E. Nacorda Klappentext No further information has been provided for this title. Zusammenfassung This study examines the role of small-scale disturbance by burrowing shrimps and its interaction with seagrass performance against a changing background of anthropogenically altered sediment dynamics. It establishes that the two types of burrowing shrimps redistribute considerable quantities of sediment with siginificant substrate effects on depth gradients of organic matter, grain size and nitrogen.
