Description

The development characteristics of restored and created intertidal flat ecosystems were examined by using data from an indoor mesocosm experiment and field studies conducted at a created intertidal flat in Mikawa Bay. The drastic elevation change in the created intertidal flat caused a decrease in macrofaunal abundance, preventing self-stabilization of the ecosystem. Macrofaunal species richness reached a dynamic equilibrium between two and greater than six years, indicating that long-term monitoring is necessary to assess restoration success. The rate of ecosystem development appeared to be determined by the efficiencies of larval recruitment and adult access to the site.
