Description :
Results from long term microerosion meter (MEM) studies indicate that microenvironments are characterized by different erosion rates. Optical and scanning electron microscopy were used to identify a range of features thought to reflect different processes. Sites with periodic exposure exhibit both dissolution and biological etch features. The natural environment is more accurately reflected by allowing some microflora colonization of MEM sites rather than preventing colonization by artificial means.
