Advective flows rapidly transport water, solutes, and particles into and out of permeable
sand beds and significantly affects the biogeochemistry of coastal environments. In this …

This book offers a comprehensive review of the entire field of taphonomy, the science of
fossil preservation. It describes the formation of plant and animal fossils in oceanic …

Over the past fifteen years a limited number of monographs concerned with the theory of
transport and reaction of substances in sediments (Berner, 1980; Lerman, 1979; and in part …

Ophiomorpha, traditionally one of the most revered environmental indicators among trace
fossils, is by no means an unambiguous entity in facies analysis and palaeoecology …

The effects of benthic organisms on the physical properties of granular substrata are well
documented. The range of effects has been presented in HB Moore (1931, 1939), Schwartz …

THE biogeochemical processes and associated microbial communities in the sea floor are
stratified1 and dependent on vertical transport mechanisms. The penetration of oxygen is …

Construction and maintenance of burrows by macrofauna have large implications for the
microbiology and biogeochemistry of marine sediments. Although a wealth of new …

Burrowers and borers are ecosystem engineers that alter their physical environments
through bioturbation, bioirrigation and bioerosion. The mechanisms of moving through solid …

Thalassinidean shrimp construct species-specific burrows which vary in morphology from
simple'U'or'Y'shaped tubes to more complex tiers of galleries or reticulate branches. Data on …
