Ice in the intertidal: patterns and processes of freeze tolerance in intertidal invertebrates
Journal of Experimental BiologyABSTRACT 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.

Elevated salinity is expected to drive changes in biogeochemical cycling and microbial communities in estuarine and intertidal wetlands. However, limited information regarding the role of salinity in shaping biogeochemical controls and mediating ...

Intertidal Flats and Intertidal Sand Bodies
1985The 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 combined effects of intertidal zonation and mangrove vegetation on benthic bacterial communities and ecological functions were studied. MiSeq sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene and PICRUSt predictive functional profiles were used to investigate the ...

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, 1976Abstract 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.

Dynamics of Intertidal Gravel Dunes
Journal of Coastal Research, 2006This paper examines the dynamics of intertidal gravel dunes subjected to high‐energy unsteady and reversing tidal currents in the Severn Estuary, UK. The dunes were composed of shale particles with median grain size, D50, around 4 mm and had mean heights and wavelengths of 60 cm and 7 m, respectively.

Shipwreck sites in intertidal zones—the parts of shorelines that are exposed at low tide and covered at high tide—are located within dynamic environments. Periodically uncovered and reburied, these stranded vessels are affected by surf and currents that accelerate the decay of their remains, and their materials are often salvaged ...
