Cohesive sediment is an important component of aquatic environments, which must be
monitored and managed for environmental, engineering, and human health reasons. While …

Waves are fundamentally important to the physical and biological functioning of estuaries.
Understanding and predicting contaminant transport, development of sedimentary …

This paper reviews field and laboratory studies using flumes to quantify the erodability of
undisturbed intertidal sediments as a function of changes in (1) the natural benthic …

This paper focuses on the hydrodynamic and suspended sediment transport processes in
response to sequential reclamations over the intertidal flat, Jiangsu coast, which used to be …

We combined 3 different approaches to determine the relative importance of
microphytobenthos production as food for intertidal macrobenthic animals:(1) the natural …

Marine benthic diatoms excrete large quantities of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS),
both as a function of their motility system and as a response to environmental conditions …

Plants and animals affect morphological evolution in many environments. The term
“ecogeomorphology” describes studies that address such effects. In this opinion article we …

Annular flumes are often used to quantify the interactions between hydrodynamics,
biological activity and sediment dynamics. Therefore it is essential that experimental …

Interactions between physical and biological processes in intertidal sediments have been
the focus of studies in the framework of the ECOFLAT project. Process studies were focused …

Understanding the interactions between the ecosystem and the morphology of river
floodplains, ie floodplain biogeomorphology, is becoming increasingly important in view of …
