Flux calculations demonstrate that many estuaries are natural filters for trace metals. Yet, the underlying processes poorly investigated. In present study, it was hypothesized intertidal marshes contribute significantly to contaminant filter function of estuaries. Trace metal concentrations and sediment characteristics were measured along a transect from subtidal, over an flat marsh restored with controlled reduced tide. Metal in found be factor two five higher than values subtidal...
Exotic Populus taxa pose a threat to the success of riparian forest restoration in floodplain areas. We evaluated impact exotic on softwood development along river Common Meuse after introducing native nigra and re-establishment natural dynamics. sampled 154 poplar seedlings that spontaneously colonized restored habitat assessed their taxonomy based diagnostic chloroplast nuclear microsatellite markers. Furthermore, by using paternity analysis 72 resulting from six open pollinated P....
Abstract. Tidal flats provide valuable ecosystem services such as flood protection and carbon sequestration. Erosion accretion processes govern the ecogeomorphic evolution of intertidal ecosystems (marshes bare flats) and, hence, substantially affect their services. To understand development, high-frequency bed-level change data are thus needed. However, datasets scarce due to lack suitable methods that do not involve excessive labour and/or costly instruments. By applying newly developed...
Abstract Coastal marshes provide valuable ecosystem functions, but some are facing increasing risks of vegetation loss due to sea level rise and other stressors. A key question is how tidal flow sedimentation patterns affected by the spatiotemporal loss, as sediment accretion with largely affects potential for marsh recovery. Here, we performed a field study in macrotidal reed simulated typical consecutive mowing. For each mowing pattern, spatial velocities rates were recorded. Our results...
