The sandy sediments that blanket the inner shelf are situated in a zone where nutrient input
from land and strong mixing produce maximum primary production and tight coupling …

The increasing appreciation of the small-scale (sub-mm) heterogeneity of biogeochemical
processes in sediments, wetlands and soils has led to the development of several methods …

The term 'bioturbation'is frequently used to describe how living organisms affect the
substratum in which they live. A closer look at the aquatic science literature reveals …

The globally important nature of wetland ecosystems has led to their increased protection
and restoration as well as their use in engineered systems. Underpinning the beneficial …

Bioturbation, the biogenic modification of sediments through particle reworking and burrow
ventilation, is a key mediator of many important geochemical processes in marine systems …

Organic carbon processing at the seafloor is studied by biogeochemists to quantify burial
and respiration, by organic geochemists to elucidate compositional changes and by …

A simple, high resolution colormetric planar optode imaging approach is presented. The
approach is simple and inexpensive yet versatile, and can be used to study the two …

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

The behaviour of the iconic ichnogenus Chondrites is re-evaluated based on review of
existing literature and analysis of novel data (macroscopic, thin section and ESEM-EDX …

Internal phosphorus (P) loading can increase the P level in the water column and further
sustains cyanobacterial blooms. This study focused on the role of benthic fauna bioturbation …
