Abstract

This research proposal focuses on poorly understood ecological functions of marine 3d-structures and their associated processes. The main aim of this project is to clarify the importance of 3d-structures and water flow for colonization and succession. In addition, the general colonization capacity of species related to gravel beds will be simulated.
