Chlorophyll <i>a</i>, pheopigments, total organic carbon and acid-volatile sulphides (AVS) of surface and subsurface sediments, and macrofaunal assemblages were investigated in parallel at 15 stations. Monthly hydrological data of low-tide creek water adjacent to the flat were used as a complementary environmental characterisation of the study area. Strong temporal changes were found among sampling dates, most remarkably in autumn with a major increase of algal detritus and AVS, a sharp reduction in macrofaunal abundances and species richness, and a massive mortality of the clam <i>Ruditapes philippinarum</i>. This dystrophic event was preceded by a photoautotrophic and hypertrophic spring&#8211;summer characterized by abundant fresh (i.e., living) algal material, including microphytobenthos and macroalgae (<i>Ulva</i> sp.). In summer, abundant macrofaunal assemblages reached the highest biomass values (455&nbsp;g wet weight m<sup>&#8722;2</sup> or 60.6&nbsp;g ash free dry weight m<sup>&#8722;2</sup>), with a major contribution of filter-feeding bivalves <i>Musculista senhousia</i> and <i>R. philippinarum</i>. These are among the highest values reported in the literature for sedimentary shores. From autumn, there was a progressive recolonisation of macrofauna, initiated by few opportunistic polychaetes (e.g., <i>Cirriformia tentaculata</i> and <i>Polydora</i> sp.), apparently promoting a fast sediment recovery in winter, and followed by new bivalve recruits in the next spring. This study provides the first evidence of significant and interlinked within-year changes in chemical characteristics of sediments and macrofaunal assemblages in an estuarine intertidal flat at a small spatial scale (i.e., tens of meters). This demonstrates the high temporal variability of species&#8211;environment relations in these systems and a close relationship in seasonally driven trophodynamic processes among primary producers and benthic consumers. We conclude that a thorough parallel evaluation of the temporal changes n chemical characteristics of sediments should be taken into account in assessing the year-round distribution and changes of intertidal macrofauna, particularly in eutrophic, estuarine intertidal flats.","AbstractOtherLang":null,"BibLvlCode":"AS","StandardTitle":"Interlinked temporal changes in environmental conditions, chemical characteristics of sediments and macrofaunal assemblages in an estuarine intertidal sandflat (Seto Inland Sea, Japan)","OrigTitleLangCode":"en","OrigTitleLangCodeExtended":"eng","OrigTitleLangID":15,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2026-04-21 01:31:41.622507","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+02:00"},"UserAccessRight":null,"UserAccID":null,"AuthorKeywords":null,"OtherDescriptors":null,"Notes":null,"AnaPub":2006,"MonPub":null,"DateUpdate":"2018-05-17","DateCreate":"2006-04-03","SecASFANote":null,"ConfID":null,"PeerRev":1,"VlizCoreFlag":1,"WoScode":"WOS:000239322200018","VABBcode":null,"OpenAcc":0,"DOI":"10.1007/s00227-006-0298-0"},"refs":null,"anarec":{"AnaID":97537,"PubliDate":2006,"Pagination":"1185-1197","XtraPublOfAnaID":null,"ISBN":null,"Volume":"149","Issue":"5","BRefMon":null,"BRefMonRR":null,"BRefXtra":null,"BRefXtraRR":null,"SerBRefID":43352,"SerRR":"Marine Biology: International Journal on Life in Oceans and Coastal Waters.
