Abstract

Close
- Manipulative experiments in the field are important tools, for improving understanding of disturbances, such as contaminants, causing environmental impacts. We tested a method to create patches of increased concentrations of metals in intertidal sediments. The method produced persistent concentrations of metals, which were as large as those observed in contaminated areas and it appears to be applicable in different habitats. The utility of this technique as a tool to improve predictions about environmental effects needs to be evaluated by repeated experimentation.
