Benthic community recovery along an elevation gradient at two sites differing in their hydrodynamic exposure

For this project, the student will investigate the influence of elevation, i.e. a proxy for the height of sand nourishment, on the rate of recovery of benthic communities and on abiotic variables (sediment type and properties, hydrodynamic conditions, primary production, etc.) after defaunation. The student will actively participate in fieldwork and analyse benthos samples in the laboratory.
