Sediment accumulation by coastal biogenic structures sustains intertidal flats facing sea level rise in the German Wadden sea

Abstract Biogenic structures such as oyster reefs and mussel beds can enhance sedimentation and promote the expansion of intertidal flats in the German Wadden Sea. This study presents large-scale measurements of sedimentation at biogenic structures that depend on biological activities, the hydrodyna...
