Report: “Long-term development of land recovery fields Cappeler Tief (1957-1978)”
Description
» At the Cappeler Tief on the Wurster coast, there were
1957 Investigations carried out to investigate the causes

Work out the coastal section. The recommendations were made to create land recovery fields along the endangered route, which was already implemented in 1958.
Until 1965, MÜLLER has, at annual intervals,
Further development was studied, after which a
Study in 1970 and another 1977/78. At that time, although the landfills were largely closed, they were still in
a stage before the final landing. Also
at present — 1983 — the decisive step to a height above MThw has not yet taken place.
This report is an interim report on long-term development.”
In the present study the development of sedimentation
fields is described with regard to the elevation of
surface level, the change in sediment properties, the
settlement of a pioneer vegetation and the successive
changes in benthic faunal composition. The fields are
located near Cappeler Tief in the lower reaches of the
Weser estuary. The system of Groynes surrounding the
fields was constructed in 1958 in order to protect an
eroding cliff of an old saltmarsh against further
breaking off. Until 1961 regular draining was carried out
by supporting an artificial system of ditches. During the
first twenty years of observation (1958-1978) seven
surveys have been made.
