This report deals with the use of hyperspectral remote sensing methods in rocky intertidal areas. These methods were evaluated in a pilot study analyzing hyperspectral imagery from the rocky intertidal of Helgoland. The paper discusses the potential of hyperspectral image analysis for monitoring elements of coastal diversity apparent in this area and discusses the potential and limitations of t...

The midintertidal zone of temperate rocky coasts is often dominated by mussels that form dense beds and exclude other primary space holders. The rate at which storms remove mussels from their substrate consequently has a controlling influence on intertidal community structure. The rate of disturbance by waves can be predicted mechanistically by comparing the attachment strength of an organism t...

This study aims to investigate the community composition similarity of invertebrates in Nglambor intertidal zone. The invertebrate communities zone Indonesia was studied August and September 2020.. data occurring algae were obtained by plot method. Abiotic factors such as water pH, light intensity, salinity measured at each station. among habitat types determined using Dice’s coefficient, meanw...

abstract the present work aims to determine fauna and abundance of hermit crabs in the southern qeshm island. for these aims, after preview of coastal zone, eight stations were selected in the intertidal zones of southern qeshm island. sampling in these stations was conducted during the dec. 2013. totally, 605 specimens of hermit crabs were studied and calculated. for identification and accurat...

Zonation of organisms in soft-bottom intertidal habitats is mainly a consequence of the tidal sorting of the substrate and how benthic organisms respond to it, with predation and competition also playing a role. Although parasites are ubiquitous in these habitats and known agents of community structure, their impact on zonation is rarely considered. Here, using observational and experimental da...

Intertidal mud has buried extensive, well-vegetated lowlands in westernmost Washington at least six times in the past 7000 years. Each burial was probably occasioned by rapid tectonic subsidence in the range of 0.5 to 2.0 meters. Anomalous sheets of sand atop at least three of the buried lowlands suggest that tsunamis resulted from the same events that caused the subsidence. These events may ha...
