- Abstract
The article comments on a study on the driving forces that shape the back-barrier tidal flats in the southern North Sea. The study area has a tidal range between about 1 and 4 meter in the south-eastern part of the North Sea. The tidal flat systems envelops supralitoral salt marshes, dunes and beaches that extend above the mean high-tide level, intertidal flats and depressions that are permanently under water. The ecosystem research projects were conducted in the German Wadden Sea funded by the Federal Ministry of Sciencen and Technology.
