Cohesive sediment is an important component of aquatic environments, which must be
monitored and managed for environmental, engineering, and human health reasons. While …

Biofilms can be regarded as early warning systems for detection of the effects of toxicants on
aquatic systems, because they have been successfully used for detection of other …

Exploring the role of enzymes in biogeochemical processes, this reference explores the
function, molecular biology, and biochemistry of microorganisms and their intra-and extra …

Soft-sediment habitats in intertidal and shallow subtidal marine ecosystems frequently
support extensive populations of benthic microalgae (microphytobenthos). These algal …

Beach sand is a habitat that supports many microbes, including viruses, bacteria, fungi and
protozoa (micropsammon). The apparently inhospitable conditions of beach sand …

Sediment erosion results from hydrodynamic forcing, represented by the bottom shear stress
(BSS), and from the erodability of the sediment, defined by the critical erosion shear stress …

In aquatic habitats, micro‐organisms successfully adhere to and mediate particles, thus
changing the erosive response of fine sediments to hydrodynamic forcing by secreting glue …

Addition of natural polymer or biopolymer is considered as a novel, cost-effective and eco-
friendly soil modification approach mainly pertaining to erosion stability. The present study …

Sediment destabilization by sediment-reworking organisms is common in coastal aquatic
environments, but the potential of bioturbation to inhibit shoreline succession has not been …

Interactions between physical and biological processes in intertidal sediments have been
the focus of studies in the framework of the ECOFLAT project. Process studies were focused …
