摘要

Abstract

To identify the distribution pattern of macrofaunal assemblages of the Dafeng intertidal flats in response to hydrodynamic and sediment dynamic processes in the northern Jiangsu coast

East China

macrofauna sampling and hydrodynamic observations were carried out simultaneously across the mud flat

mixed mud-sand flat

and silt-sand flat of the intertidal zone in June 2018. Results show that there was a clear zonal distribution pattern of the macrofaunal communities

as is controlled by local hydrological and sedimentary environments. Principal component analysis (PCA) revealed three types of intertidal area in terms of hydrological and surficial sediment parameters. Similarly

three distinct groups of the macrofaunal communities

i.e.

mud flat

mix mud-sand

and silt-sand groups

were recognized at similarity level of 24% based on the CLUSTER analysis in similarity profile (SIMPROF) test. Correlation analysis upon best variables stepwise search (BVSTEP) indicated the importance of the hydrodynamics (e.g.

water temperature and salinity

tidal duration

flow speed

suspended sediment concentration

and wave height) in the differentiation of macrofaunal communities with different taxonomic classes over the intertidal zone. Therefore

macrofaunal assemblages

similar to hydrology and surficial sediment

have a unique zonation pattern. Small-sized deposit feeders adapt better to low energy environments

thus dominated the upper part of the intertidal flat

whilst the heavy and large-sized filter feeders and deposit feeders were dominant over the middle and lower parts. The hydrodynamic and sediment processes cause biota-niche separation

which affected the biological processes across the intertidal flat.
