Description
Several parameters like vegetation, macrobenthos, aquatic birds and sediments are monitored in a standardised way along the estuary between Ghent and the Dutch-Belgian border including the Durme and the Rupel. more
Several parameters like vegetation, macrobenthos, aquatic birds and sediments are monitored in a standardised way along the estuary between Ghent and the Dutch-Belgian border including the Durme and the Rupel. The vegetation is monitored by means of 200 permanent quadrats (PQs), scattered along the Zeeschelde, of which a vegetation survey (Londo scale) is made every three years. Vegetation maps are constructed on the basis of aerial photographs in combination with verification in the field. Scope Themes: Biology, Biology > Plants, Coastal studies (e.g. shores, estuaries) Keywords: Fresh water, Brackish water, Monitoring, Mud flats, Salt marshes, Vegetation, Vegetation cover, ANE, Scheldt Estuary, Belgium, Zeeschelde Temporal coverage
From 1995 on [In Progress] Three-yearly Parameters
Vegetation Methodology
Vegetation: Permanent squares (PQ) Along the river, spread over the different vegetation types, a large number of permanent squares are marked. Vegetation: Mapping method Contributors
