| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The environments inside and outside an actual seagrass bed were investigated to understand the differences between these environments and the role of the seagrass bed in such differences.
This study revealed that the sediment particle size in the seagrass bed is larger than that outside the seagrass bed. Further, the environment is suitable for the growth of seagrass. In addition, sedimentation of suspended matter was observed inside the seagrass bed. On the other hand, outside the seagrass bed, turbidity tended to increase with low tides, and it was inferred that movement of suspended solids due to tidal current is restricted inside the seagrass bed. These results indicate that the seagrass creates a suitable environment that facilitates its own abundant growth.
