| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study focused on the spatial dynamics and occurrence factors of Ulva sp., and the following issues (1) to (3) were studied at the Yatsu Tidal Flat in Chiba prefecture. (1) Analysis of seasonal variation pattern in Ulva sp. (2) Influence of micro-landforms and hydraulic conditions on distribution of Ulva sp. (3)Specification of load source of nutrient salts needed for growth of Ulva sp. As the result, the following was clarified. (1)It was suggested the signal of seasonal change in Ulva sp. can be obtained using high spatial resolution satellite image data. (2) Southeastern inlet of the tidal flat is undulate and Ulva sp. is trapped on the bar at the late stage of ebb tide. (3) The presence of Ulva sp. affects the nutrients dynamics in Yatsu Tidal Flat. Especially, nitrogen uptake of Ulva sp. is greater with ammonium (NH4+) than with nitrate (NO3-). (4) It was suggested that nitrogen taken in from spring to autumn is returned to the tidal flat in the winter.
