As the trees fell, the fine sediment in which the forest grew protected the plants.
This species is a bottom-dweller that prefers habitats with fine sediment.
What the scientists have not seen yet: finer sediments that settle out on a lake bottom.
If these land in fine sediments, they can form dropstones.
A fine brown sediment stuck to the glass bottom when she tipped it sideways.
Consequently only the finest sediment comes into the lake.
Rapid burial followed volcanic events, and the fine sediment preserved details.
First, the physical barrier is provided by the fine sediments on the top of the ocean floor.
Water quality is directly impacted by a variety of sources, such as fine sediments and chemical pollutants.
Each time around 100,000m of fine grained sediments are removed.
