The Wadden Sea food web - Different habitats for different bird species

The Wadden Sea is one of the most important foraging areas for breeding and migrating birds. However, little is known about the preferred feeding places of birds and how the intense predation pressure influences the food web. Within the project STopP the trophodynamic structure of different Wadden Sea habitats is determined to get an idea how sediment characteristics and hydrodynamics modify habitats that serve as food sources for birds.
