Over het archief
Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.
Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

| Abstract |
For several reasons the fate and effects of oil pollution cannot be readily studied in natural ecosystems. Furthermore, the results of laboratory tests cannot be easily extrapolated to natural systems. A logical objective of ecotoxicological research is therefore to simulate natural systems in model-ecosystem experiments. A 1-year feasibility study was carried out with Model Tidal Flat ecosystems (MOTIFs), designed to represent tidal f1at systems typical of the Wadden sea and other temperate estuarine areas. In the first 6 months the four MOTIFs developed very similarly. After this period an oil spill was simulated by exposing two of the four MOTIFs to a floating oil mousse for 1 week. During this week part of the oil was buried in the sediment by bioturbation. This sediment-bound fraction caused a prolonged exposure 'of the MOTIFs to oil compoundsShort- and long-term effects resulted in large differences between oil-treated and control MOTIFS. These differences persisted up to the end of the experiment 7 months after the removal of most of the oil. |
