Role of Soil Macrofauna in Phosphorus Cycling [PDF]

, 2010
Soil macrofauna (invertebrates larger than 2mm) live all or part of their life below ground. The activities of soil macroinvertebrates regulate soil organic matter transformations and nutrient dynamics to a significant extent. The role of earthworms and termites in soil phosphorus (P) cycling has been frequently studied, especially in tropical ...

Assessing local adaptation and divergence at early life stages within Eastern Baltic cod (Gadus morhua)

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Many commercially exploited fish stocks have declined over the last few decades. It is therefore essential to identify natural populations and understand local adaptation for sustainable management. Salinity is a key environmental factor shaping local adaptation, and adaptive trait divergence often occurs at the egg and larval stages.

Transport by Benthic Macrofauna: Functional Classification and Biogeochemical Response [PDF]

, 2014
Burrowing and reworking activities by benthic macrofauna regulate rates and pathways during organic matter mineralisation in bioturbated sediments. In so doing, they also affect the overall cycling of elements crucial in the biosphere (e.g.

Mesophotic octocoral larval settlement preferences and behaviors

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Lab‐based coral reproduction is advancing restoration efforts to support coral populations injured by the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill. Objectives This study aimed to answer foundational questions concerning coral spawning and larval settlement that need to be resolved for these mesophotic and deep‐sea coral species before ...

Nulmeting macrofauna bronbeken Noorbeemden

, 2023
De bronbeken in de Noorbeemden zijn diep ingesneden. Dit heeft verdroging en het verlies van graduele land- waterovergangen tot gevolg, wat doorwerkt op de ecologische kwaliteit van beek en beekdal. Om het systeem te herstellen, is beekbodemverhoging van de bronbeken als maatregel in beeld.

Biogeochemical consequences of macrofauna burrow ventilation† [PDF]

Geochemical Transactions, 2001
The burrow walls created by macrofauna in aquatic sediments are sites of intense chemical mass transfer. Quantitative measurement of their significance is, however, difficult because chemistry in the immediate vicinity of burrow walls is temporally dynamic due to periodic ventilation of burrows by macrofauna.

The effects of bioturbation on porewater chemistry and early marine diagenesis: Evidence from a modern intertidal zone in Abu Dhabi, U.A.E.

Sedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Early marine carbonate cements generally form in CaCO3‐supersaturated seawater at the seabed or shallow burial depths, resulting in syn‐sedimentary cemented firmgrounds and hardgrounds. The processes controlling early marine diagenesis are complex, particularly in coastal environments where geochemistry is influenced by different water sources
