Bioturbation experiments in the Venice Lagoon [PDF]
Hydrobiologia, 2003 Short experiments (14–21 days) were carried out during autumn 1998 and spring 1999 at one selected site of the Venice Lagoon to measure bioturbation activities and mixing rates, as well as to obtain quantitative information on benthos functionality ...

Bioturbation in the hadal zone. [PDF]
Nat CommunAbstract The hadal zone, >6 km deep, remains one of the least understood ecosystems on Earth. We address bioturbational structures in sediment cores from depths exceeding 7.5 km, collected during the IODP Expedition 386 in the Japan Trench.

Raised water temperature enhances benthopelagic links via intensified bioturbation and benthos-mediated nutrient cycling [PDF]
PeerJSediment reworking by benthic infauna, namely bioturbation, is of pivotal importance in expansive soft-sediment environments such as the Wadden Sea. Bioturbating fauna facilitate ecosystem functions such as bentho-pelagic coupling and sediment nutrient ...

Benthic ecosystem functioning under climate change: modelling the bioturbation potential for benthic key species in the southern North Sea [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 Climate change affects the marine environment on many levels with profound consequences for numerous biological, chemical, and physical processes. Benthic bioturbation is one of the most relevant and significant processes for benthic-pelagic coupling and

Assessing the expansion of the Cambrian Agronomic Revolution into fan-delta environments
Scientific Reports, 2022 The intensity, extent, and ecosystem-level impact of bioturbation (i.e. Agronomic Revolution) at the dawn of the Phanerozoic is a hotly debated issue.

Mammalian bioturbation amplifies rates of both hillslope sediment erosion and accumulation along the Chilean climate gradient [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2023 Animal burrowing activity affects soil texture, bulk density, soil water content, and redistribution of nutrients. All of these parameters in turn influence sediment redistribution, which shapes the earth's surface.

Digging Deeper: Bioturbation increases the preserved sulfur isotope fractionation
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 Bioturbation enhances mixing between the seafloor and overlying ocean due to changes the redox state of the sediment and influences the biogeochemical cycling of redox-sensitive elements such as sulfur. Before the widespread appearance of burrowing fauna

A lattice-automaton bioturbation simulator with coupled physics, chemistry, and biology in marine sediments (eLABS v0.2) [PDF]
Geoscientific Model Development, 2019 Seawater–sediment interaction is a crucial factor in carbon and nutrient cycling on a wide range of spatial and temporal scales. This interaction is mediated not just through geochemistry but also via biology.
