Abstract
We present an approach to field-based remote sensing of the spatial variation of chlorophyll
(as an index of microphytobenthic biomass) in intertidal soft sediments using digital colourinfrared
imagery. Variation in amounts of chlorophyll a was quantified from small (cm) to large
(100 m) scales within a single tidal cycle, using levels of replication and resolution that would be difficult
to achieve using conventional sampling strategies. Eight scales of interest were selected: 100,
50, 2 and 1 m, and 40, 8, 4 and
