Abstract:This research was carried out to investigate the feasibility of using dredged sediment (DS) as the additive of silt and clay for artificial tidal flats. A series of experiments conducted in the real seashore and in a tidal flat simulator demonstrated that DS could be used for artificial tidal flats. Furthermore, the tidal flat simulator experiment showed that the macrobenthos population increased with the DS addition. However, use of conditioners made of paper sludge and poly-aluminum chloride for DS granulati… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
