Physical Factors Involved in the Isoyake (Seaweed Forest Depletion) at Mio, Pacific Coast of Central Japan
In Japan, seaweed forest depletion is known as isoyake. We conducted a study on the marine environment to clarify the cause and the persistence of the isoyake in the sea area at Mio, on the west coast of the Kii Peninsula, central Japan. In the sea area at Mio, a layer of high-turbidity seawater formed on the sea surface (lowest Secchi disc depth: 1m) during and after precipitation. The average accumulation of sediment on the bedrock was 6.7 mg/ cm2. This value was ... view more»
