Artificial intelligence and extensive satellite imagery have allowed researchers to map the world's intertidal zones for the first time, revealing a significant loss of the crucial ecosystem. The ...

The nearshore zone, and associated benthic zone, is a uniquely sensitive part of the lake ecosystem, sitting at the interface between terrestrial and aquatic landscapes. Anything coming off the ...

No lines in the sand: Impacts of intense mechanized maintenance regimes on sandy beach ecosystems span the intertidal zone on urban coasts. Ecological Indicators , 2019; 106: 105457 DOI: 10.1016/j ...

The intertidal zone proved to be the optimal place to examine the effects of climate change on ecosystems over time. Waves and tides make the intertidal environment highly dynamic. The lifespans of ...

Intertidal mudflats are dynamic coastal zones subject to the rhythmic influence of tides, where fine sedimentary substrates create habitats for a diverse range of infaunal organisms. These ...

"We observed strong negative responses to these intense widespread practices on urban beaches in the biodiversity, structure and function across all the intertidal zones of beach ecosystems," said ...

The intertidal zone differs from most ecosystems in that it's constantly changing. These regions are defined as the area of land that is exposed at low tide but submerged at high tide.

“This is a clear example of a trophic cascade that crosses between terrestrial and marine ecosystems.” Kurle spent three summers conducting intertidal surveys on 32 islands in the Aleutian Archipelago ...

Tide pools are found in the intertidal zone, a unique marine ecosystem that serves as a habitat for myriad plants and animals. They can be nurseries for certain fish species — and lobsters! — and also ...
