Bioturbation, ecosystem functioning and community structure [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2002 The effect of community structure on the functioning of the ecosystem is an important issue in ecology due to continuing global species loss. The influence of infaunal community structure on the functioning of marine systems is proposed here to act ...

Growth Performance of Varieties of Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) Seedlings in Earthworm-Bioturbated Soil and Crab-Bioturbated Soil [PDF]
Iranica Journal of Energy and Environment, 2023 Earthworms and crabs are known to influence the physicochemical state of their respective soil habitats through their bioturbation actions. While earthworm-bioturbated soils have been well documented to positively affect plant growth, not much is known ...

Simulated wild boar bioturbation increases the stability of forest soil carbon [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2019 Most forest soils are characterised by a steep carbon gradient from the forest floor to the mineral soil, indicating that carbon is prevented from entry into the soil.

Bioturbation and the δ56Fe signature of dissolved iron fluxes from marine sediments
Royal Society Open Science, 2023 We developed a reaction-transport model capable of tracing iron isotopes in marine sediments to quantify the influence of bioturbation on the isotopic signature of the benthic dissolved (DFe) flux.

Cadmium transport in sediments by tubificid bioturbation: An assessment of model complexity [PDF]
, 2006 Biogeochemistry of metals in aquatic sediments is strongly influenced by bioturbation. To determine the effects of biological transport on cadmium distribution in freshwater sediments, a bioturbation model is explored that describes the conveyor-belt ...

Bioturbation experiments in the Venice Lagoon [PDF]
, 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 ...

Mixed Signals: interpreting mixing patterns of different soil bioturbation processes through luminescence and numerical modelling [PDF]
SOILSoil bioturbation plays a key role in soil functions such as carbon and nutrient cycling. Despite its importance, fundamental knowledge on how different organisms and processes impact the rates and patterns of soil mixing during bioturbation is lacking ...

Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 263-304., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Multiple Sulfur Isotope Geochemistry during the Permian-Triassic Transition
Geosciences, 2021 The end-Permian mass extinction was the largest biodiversity crisis in the Phanerozoic. Based on characteristic negative ∆33S signals of sedimentary pyrite, previous multiple sulfur isotope studies suggested shoaling of anoxic/sulfidic deep-waters onto a
