Intertidal flats are highly dynamic coastal environments that provide vital ecosystem services. Despite their importance, intertidal flats are declining worldwide. In response, a range of restoration and management measures are increasingly being applied to enhance sediment accumulation and stabilize the bed surface. However, the effectiveness of these interventions ultimately depends on how sediment properties and bed stabili...

Erosion and habitat loss on intertidal flats are increasingly fought through large-scale sediment nourishment. Yet the impact of nourishment on short-term bed-level dynamics remains poorly quantified. Daily erosion–accretion events shape the immediate physical environment experienced by benthic infauna: repeated burial and re-exposure set the physical bounds of the ecological niche, making bed-level dynamics a key indicator of...

Tidal flats are valuable ecosystems that depend on complex biogeomorphic processes between organisms and sediment transport. Climate change has led to a rise in extreme weather events, such as storms. This, in turn, has increased sediment dynamics and created risks for the benthic communities inhabiting tidal flats. However, replicating sediment disturbances caused by extreme weather is difficult. To overcome this, we used the...

Lakes worldwide are affected by multiple stressors, including climate change. This includes massive loading of both nutrients and humic substances to lakes during extreme weather events, which also may disrupt thermal stratification. Since multi‐stressor effects vary widely in space and time, their combined ecological impacts remain difficult to predict. Therefore, we combined two consecutive large enclosure experiments with a...

The transparency regulator hypothesis (TRH) proposes that ultraviolet radiation (UVR) is a main driving force behind diel vertical migration (DVM) of zooplankton in clearwater systems. While previous studies have mainly studied DVM in relation to the TRH on a spatial scale across systems we here focus on long‐term trends in a single system in order to assess if UVR explains observed patterns in DVM. We show that the strength o...
