Modeling the influence of a young mussel bed on fine sediment dynamics on an intertidal flat in the Wadden Sea

Mussel beds are known to affect fine sediment dynamics and morphology on mudflat scale, a clear example of ecosystem engineering. Current research into possible ecological engineering applications of mussel beds makes quantitative modeling desirable. In this study a process-based model of the intera...
