The facilitative effect of ‘priming’ on benthic community recovery

After defaunation, used to mimic the effect of sand nourishment, some
areas will be ‘primed’, by adding a known-density of specific benthos species
or directly by dumping fresh sediment on top. This project will investigate the
potential facilitative effect of such techniques for benthic community recovery
by comparing them. The student will actively participate in fieldwork and analyse benthos samples in the laboratory.
