An open source simulation model for soil and sediment bioturbation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Bioturbation is one of the most widespread forms of ecological engineering and has significant implications for the structure and functioning of ecosystems, yet our understanding of the processes involved in biotic mixing remains incomplete.

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.

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 ...

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.

Scientific Reports, 2023 Chernozems/Phaeozems are important agricultural resources and have been intensively used for millennia. However, their origin and age are still controversial. In Europe, the westernmost widespread Chernozem/Phaeozem area is located in Central Germany. In

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.

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 ...

Deep Learning Applications in Geosciences: Insights into Ichnological Analysis
Applied Sciences, 2021 Ichnological analysis, particularly assessing bioturbation index, provides critical parameters for characterizing many oil and gas reservoirs. It provides information on reservoir quality, paleodepositional conditions, redox conditions, and more. However,

Lethaia, EarlyView., 2021 Biomineralization is a generic term used to indicate biological‐mediated mineral formation. In carbonate mineralization, nucleation of crystals can be: (1) controlled directly by the organisms, like in the skeletal formation of most metazoans; (2) induced by microbial communities, by indirect precipitation mediated by their metabolic activities; or (3)

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
