Short‐term changes in the erodibility of intertidal cohesive sediments related to the migratory behavior of epipelic diatoms
Abstract
The surface stability of intertidal cohesive sediments maintained in a laboratory tidal ecosystem was examined in relation to the migratory behavior of epipelic diatoms. Stability was measured by a new portable device—a cohesive strength meter. Diatom#x2010;inhabited sediments increased significantly in surface stability over 7.3#x2010;h tidal exposure as compared with consolidated and unconsolidated control sediments. Low#x2010;temperature scanning electron microscopy showed an extensive extracellular matrix throughout the surface of diatom#x2010;inhabited sediments. This matrix was considered to consist mainly of mucopolysaccharides produced by diatoms as part of their locomotive mechanism. A matrix of very fine strands (possibly of bacterial origin) was found on the consolidated control sediment but had little effect on stability. Surface stability imparted by the mucilage produced by epipelic diatoms decayed after the return of the tide, but when dense populations of diatoms were present (10 6 diatoms cm−2) some residual stability remained after a full tidal inundation.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
