Influence of Characteristics of Scirpus mariqueter Community on the Benthic Macro-invertebrate in a Salt Marsh of the Changjiang Estuary
河口盐沼植物对大型底栖动物群落的影响

Both intertidal plant community and zoobenthic community are important parts of estuarine ecosystem, which determined many significant ecological processes in the estuarine ecosystem. Survival of zoobenthos in the tidal flat of estuary is influenced by stability and heterogeneity of habitats closely related to tidal dynamics, sediment conditions, characteristics of physiognomy and vegetation pattern. Scirpus salt marsh is widespread throughout the Changjiang estuary, China. It is one of the most common...
