In contrast to other marine habitats, and despite a large body of primary scientific literature, no comprehensive synthesis exists, such that the scattered knowledge base lacks an integrated conceptual framework. We attempt to provide this synthesis by pulling together and contextualizing the different disciplines, tools, and approaches used in the study of intertidal mudflats. The editor pays particular attention to relationships between the various components of the synthesis, both at the conceptual and the operational levels, validating these relationships through close interaction with the various authorsSummary: Introduction: Mudflat Basics -- Geological, Physical and Chemical Foundations -- Microbiota - The Living Foundation -- Microphytobenthic Biofilms: Composition and Interactions -- Meiofauna - An Inconspicuous but Important Player in Mudflat Ecology -- The Upper Living Levels: Invertebrate Macrofauna -- Bivalve Chemosymbioses on Mudflats -- Sedimentary and Biological Patterns on Mudflats -- Ecology of Parasites in Mudflat Ecosystems -- Mudflat Ecosystem Engineers and Services -- Biological Invasions of Mudflats -- Shorebirds as Integrators and Indicators of Mudflat Ecology -- Mudflat Fishing -- Mudflat Aquaculture -- Quantitative Considerations in Mudflat EcologyPPN: PPN: 1067368108Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-2-SBL | ZDB-2-SEB | ZDB-2-SXB
