Uncovering intra-daily intertidal biofilm dynamics in a shorebird foraging hotspot with hourly UAV multispectral imagery acquisitions

Estuarine mudflats are colonized by biofilm-forming microphytobenthos (MPB), which support primary production, stabilize sediment, and provide critical food for benthic invertebrates and shorebirds. MPB biomass fluctuates intra-daily, peaking post-emersion and declining before tidal immersion. Under...
