摘要: Abstract In coastal intertidal flats, assemblages of deposit-feeders often vary seasonally and according to the availability food in sediments. mudflat where this study has been done, deposit-feeder assemblage changed after a sharp increase fresh detritus, which occurred summer 1997. The number animals increased abundances some worms ( Streblospio shrubsolii , Desdemona ornata Capitella cf. capitata ) were correlated with nutritive value sediment. addition, there was evidence that increasing would recruitment juveniles adults S. . paper, concentration manipulated situ sediments an different seasons. Food high added small plots test hypotheses about effects on distribution deposit-feeders. It predicted addition change composition abundance densities food. Furthermore, it tested whether affected by consistently through Densities sediment organically enriched. assemblage, however, not affected. D.
