Speybroeck, J. (2007). Ecologie van macrobenthos als een basis voor een ecologische bijsturing van strandsuppleties = Ecology of macrobenthos as a baseline for an ecological adjustment of beach nourishment. PhD Thesis. Universiteit Gent. Vakgroep Biologie, sectie Mariene Biologie: Gent. 189 pp.
This thesis investigates the macrobenthic infauna from Belgian beaches and the impact of beach nourishment on unique sandy beach species of the upper intertidal Scolelepis squamata-Eurydice pulchra community. Whereas diversity and zonation describing research on this community is partially available, population studies of the key species are lacking. Furthermore, a process-directed approach of the impact of beach nourishment is lacking, as most studies present ‘just another case study’, often with methodological imperfections.
