Physical and biological characteristics of freshly remoulded sediment beds and beds undisturbed for 1±4 days were examined. When sediment beds were incubated for 1±2 days, the beds became covered with bio®lm and the bed volumes increased by 20±40% due to the formation of methane-®lled cavities. The bed strength dec...
