摘要
Currently, our understanding of the mechanisms for, and potential functional implications of, changes in seabed assemblages resulting from dredged material disposal is relatively unknown. Based on empirical data from 17 disposal sites, we address this by quantifying the nature and magnitude of shifts in the relative composition of response and effects traits within disposal site assemblages relative to their reference assemblages. Differing shifts in both response and effects traits were observed across sites, regardless of the trait composition of the reference assemblages. Notable differences in the magnitude of traits changes were also observed for both trait types. Traits shifts are difficult to predict as they appear to reflect both environmental conditions and disposal regime. Temporal data revealed that some sites display relatively consistent responses while others presented large inter-annual variability. These findings are discussed in relation to dredged material monitoring and with respect to conservation objectives of marine protected areas.
