Intertidal seawalls—new features of landscape in intertidal environments

Landscape and Urban Planning, 2003
Artificial structures, such as pier pilings, floating pontoons, breakwaters and seawalls are becoming common features of landscape in shallow coastal waters of urbanised areas, in some areas, replacing considerable portions of natural habitats. In Sydney Harbour (NSW, Australia), approximately 50% of the shore is composed of retaining seawalls or other

The Intertidal Zone

1988
On most coasts the tide’s amplitude is large enough to expose and cover a strip of land, the intertidal zone, twice each day. The cause and variability of tides have already been discussed (Chapter 2). Here we shall consider the intertidal environment and the animals and plants living in it.

Ice in the intertidal: patterns and processes of freeze tolerance in intertidal invertebrates

Journal of Experimental Biology
ABSTRACT Many intertidal invertebrates are freeze tolerant, meaning that they can survive ice formation within their body cavity. Freeze tolerance is a fascinating trait, and understanding its mechanisms is important for predicting the survival of intertidal animals during extreme cold weather events.

Intertidal Flats and Intertidal Sand Bodies

1985
The intertidal zone represents a diverse depositional surface demarcated by the elevation of both high and low tide stage. Intertidal flats are low-sloping features within this interval that are exposed at low-tide stage. Intertidal sand bodies represent linear shoals or bars deposited by tidal currents that occur in the lower portions of intertidal ...

The Intertidal Zone

1972
The intertidal zone is a narrow fringe of land between the ocean and land, which is alternately exposed to air and covered by water. It is not homogeneous in structure or in physical, chemical, or biotic characteristics. Many schemes of classification have been proposed for the intertidal zone, but probably the most universally accepted and most ...

Osmoregulation in molluscs of the intertidal zone

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A: Physiology, 1976
Abstract o 1. Gastropods ( Littorina littorea, Purpura lapillus, Patella vulgata ) and bivales ( Mytilus edulis, Scrobicularia plana, Glycymeris glycymeris ) of the littoral area behave as poikilosmotic animals when acclimated gradually to diluted media.
