Open WL Archief (OWA)

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

Sublittoral benthic coastal communities of the North Sea and of the Western Mediterranean were studied before and after sand extraction between 1993 and 1995 at borrow sites in Denmark, The Netherlands, and Spain. Recolonization of disturbed areas was fast owing to the rapid increase of opportunistic species. At the North Sea sites, the benthic community largely recovered within 2–4 years, whereas in Spain recovery is expected to take longer. The response of zoobenthos to sand extraction is discussed, taking into account differences in site characteristics, extraction methods, and recovery time of the habitats. The effects on the benthic community appear to be related to the physical impact on the sea floor. Small-scale disturbances in seabed morphology and sediment composition result in short-term effects on the benthic community. However, larger disturbances mainly caused by sediment composition may have a prolonged effect, particularly in low dynamic systems such as those present in the Mediterranean.
