Muddy coasts are land-sea transitional environments commonly found along low-energy shorelines which either receive large annual supplies of muddy sediments, or where unconsolidated muddy deposits are being eroded by wave action. In providing 21 case studies in different parts of the world, this book provides an up-to-date review of the state of the art in muddy coast research. Issues dealing with hydrodynamics and suspended matter transport, erosion, deposition, and sediment budgets on tidal flats, primary production, nutrient fluxes and mineralization in lagoons are treated in a multi-disciplinary manner. Most articles deal with issues which are of relevance with respect to global warming and future sea level rise.
Preface Contents Contributors Section 1: Hydrodynamics and suspended particulate matter in bays and back-barrier tidal basins Hydrodynamics of Chwaka Bay, a shallow mangrove-fringed tropical embayment, Tanzania (N. Nyandwi, O.U. Mwaipopo). Tidal characteristics of an accretional tidal flat (The Wash, U.K.) (X. Ke., M. Collins). Quantifying concentration and flux of suspended particulate matter through a tidal inlet of the East Frisian Wadden Sea by acoustic doppler current profiling (P. Santamarina Cuneo, B.W. Flemming). Section 2: Erosion, deposition, and sediment budgets of tidal flats Surface erosion of fine-grained sediment revisited (A. J. Mehta, T.M. Parchure). Comparison of the erosion shear stress of oxic and anoxic sediments in the East Frisian Wadden Sea (I. Austen, G. Witte). Mass balancing the seasonal turnover of mud and sand in the vicinity of an intertidal mussel bank in the Wadden Sea (southern North Sea) (A. Bartholoma, B.W. Flemming, M.T. Delafontaine). Mass balancing the seasonal turnover of POC in mud and sand on a back-barrier tidal flat (southern North Sea) (M.T. Delafontaine, B.W. Flemming, A. Bartholoma). Section 3: Primary production, nutrient fluxes and mineralisation in shallow coastal lagoons (Bodden) of the Baltic Sea Significance of microphytobenthic primary production in the Bodden (southern Baltic Sea) (S. Gerbersdorf, H.J. Black, J. Meyercordt, L.-A. Meyer-Reil, T. Rieling, I. Stodian). Bodden waters (southern Baltic Sea) as a source of methane and nitrous oxide (S. Dahlke, C. Wolff, L.-A. Meyer-Reil, H.W. Bange, R. Ramesh, S. Rapsomanikis, M.O. Andreae). Geochemical investigations of iron and manganese in coastal sediments of the southern Baltic Sea (I. Stodian, H.J. Black, S. Gerbersdorf, M. Koster, L.-A. Meyer-Reil, T. Rieling). Phosphorus in sediments from coastal waters of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (southern Baltic Sea) (S. Berghoff, G. Schlungbaum, U. Selig). Benthic microbial decomposition of organic matter and nutrient fluxes at the sediment-water interface in a shallow coastal inlet of the southern Baltic Sea (Nordrugensche Bodden) (T. Rieling, S. Gerbersdorf, I. Stodian, H.J. Black, S. Dahlke, M. Koster, J. Meyercordt, L.-A. Meyer-Reil). Significance of aerobic and anaerobic mineralization processes of organic carbon in sediments of a shallow coastal inlet in the southern Baltic Sea (M. Koster, H.-D. Babenzien, H.J. Black, S. Dahlke, S. Gerbersdorf, J. Meyercordt, L.-A. Meyer-Reil, T. Rieling, I. Stodian, A. Voigt). Section 4: Sediment geochemistry in salt-marshes and Holocene deposits Effects of plant roots on salt-marsh sediment geochemistry (M.I. Cacador, M.J. Madureira, C. Vale). Elemental composition of siderite grains in early Holocene deposits of Youngjong Island (west coast of Korea), and its palaeoenvironmental implications (B.-K. Khim, K.-S. Choi, Y.A. Park). Section 5: Sea-level rise, land reclamation, and resource management The impacts of sea-level rise on the coastal fisheries resources and aq
