ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGE AND BENTHIC COMMUNITY STRUCTURE ON ARTIFICIAL TIDAL FLAT IN YATSUSHIRO PORT

Abstract

 We conducted a monitoring study of artificial tidal flat in Yatsushiro Port. We found out the influence to biological communities from the competitive organisms and sediment . In the evaluation management of flats, there is a need for such a comprehensive perspective. Various bottom sediments of artificial tidal flats, complicates the biological relationship to each other, improve biodiversity.
