Abstract

By utilizing our new approach in Ecological Geotechnics, we have recently constructed a burrowing performance chart which enables an interspecific comparison of the burrowing capabilities of benthic fauna in light of the associated geophysical environments in the field. Here, we performed sets of integrated observations / surveys and analyses concerning the in-situ intertidal geoenvironment and benthos distributions at various natural and artificial tidal flats located in Kumamoto, Chiba, Okinawa and Yamaguchi Prefectures in Japan. The benthic fauna analyzed involve five species of invertebrates that belonged to Arthropoda, Mollusca, and Annelida. The results demonstrate the validity and effectiveness of the burrowing performance chart in not only evaluating but also predicting the linkage between the benthos distributions and the ensuing geoenvironment in these tidal flats. Hence, this chart will effectively contribute to a new horizon of the performance-based geoenvironmental assessment, design and management of habitats with diverse ecological activity.
