Fig. 2From: Prediction of benthic community structure from environmental variables in a soft-sediment tidal basin (North Sea)Distribution of time-averaged bed shear stress τ meanc (generated by near-bed currents) in the Hörnum tidal basin. Highest τ meanc -values appear in the tidal channels. On the tidal flats, τ meanc decreases continuously from the tidal channels toward the coastBack to article page
