The Fauna of Sand and Mud Banks Near the Mouth of the Exe Estuary

摘要: Erosion of Dawlish Warren, at the mouth Exe Estuary has resulted in a redistribution sand, which come to lie close proximity certain original mud banks.Quantitative collections macrofauna were made along traverse passing from newly deposited sand old bank, stations all being about half-tide level.Measurements salinity, temperature, pH, currents and wave action show that these are similar for stations. Thus it been possible observe distribution fauna relation type soil without usual complications due differences other factors.
