Report: Macrozoobenthos: Ecosystem research; East Friesian Wadden Sea (1994)»
Description
The Waddens and gutters in the catchment area of the Otzum Balje, the seagate between Langeoog and Spiekeroog, are the main areas of the programme “Ecosystem Research of Lower Saxony Wadden Sea”. The areas bordering west and east to Norderney and Mellum are so-called “side research spaces”. As part of the preliminary phase, a documentation of all available published and unpublished Benthos investigations was prepared for this section of the Wadden Sea (Norderney to Mellum). The results were examined, the methods critically evaluated, research deficits highlighted and recommendations for continued phases of ecosystem research as well as for coast-wide benthos monitoring were formulated. The macrozoobenthos of the wadding surfaces proved to be by far the preferred group of organisms with extensive knowledge about their spatial and temporal distribution. On the other hand, there is a considerable lack of data and knowledge regarding sublitoral macrobenthos as well as eulitoral microphytobenthos and meiozobenthos.
