| Abstract | Flocculation, a dynamic process that binds fine muddy sediments with organic material in saltwater to form larger porous aggregates, is a fundamental process in estuarine and coastal zones that controls particle settling velocity and the vertical distribution of sediment; hence, it plays an important role in sediment deposition/erosion patterns, light attenuation in the water column, nutrient and carbon cycling, and water quality. To advance the general understanding and predictive capability of |
