Landscape Structure of a Wetland: Tidal Creeks, Creek Networks and Habitat Distribution, Andros Island, Bahamas
Entry ID:
RSMAS_GR004
Summary
Abstract:
Tidal wetlands are very dynamic and vulnerable environments impacted a mix of
biological and physical controls that operate across a range of spatial and temporal scales. Instead of attempting to isolate and evaluate the characteristics of individual processes active in such coastal environments, the focus of this study was a quantitative characterization of the spatial anatomy of a Bahamian tidal ...
