Mechanisms for the formation of creeks in tidal flats are rarely discussed in the peer- reviewed literature. Moreover, while there are general theories about how creeks form in tidal flats, there is no data to support these ...

Studies related to the quality of the water in coastal environments as bays, estuaries and tidal creeks are important due to the high productivity and intense influence of anthropic activities in these areas. This study ...

The Bahía Blanca Estuary (38° 50′ S, and 62° 30′ W) presents salt marshes where interactions between the local flora (Sarcocornia perennis) and fauna (Chasmagnathus granulatus) generate some kind of salt pans that alter ...

Tidal flats generally exhibit ponds of diverse size, shape, orientation and origin. Studying the genesis, evolution, stability and erosive mechanisms of these geographic features is critical to understand the dynamics of ...

Using field measurements and field experiments, we investigated the effect of a dominant Southwest Atlantic intertidal burrowing crab, Chasmagnathus granulatus, on the inland growth of tidal creeks and creek genesis in ...

Tidal flats and marshes in intertidal environments and estuaries generally cover large areas. The access to these places is usually complicated. The area suffers cycles of flooding and drying under the influence of the ...

The seasonal influence of tidal regimes on sulfidic conditions was studied in intertidal environments from a mangrove estuary in Northern Peru. Along two sampling stations, creek water and sediment cores were collected ...
