Changes in ecosystem function across sedimentary gradients in estuaries
(Springer, 2014)The input of terrestrial silt and clay (hereafter mud) into coastal environments can alter sediment grain size distribution affecting the structure and functioning of benthic communities. The relationship between sediment ... -
Coastal hypoxia and the importance of benthic macrofauna communities for ecosystem functioning
(Springer, 2017)Coastal ecosystems are important because of the vital ecosystem functions and services they provide, but many are threatened by eutrophication and hypoxia. This results in loss of biodiversity and subsequent changes in ... -
Concentration boundary layers around complex assemblages of macroalgae: Implications for the effects of ocean acidification on understory coralline algae
(Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography, 2012)Metabolic processes have the potential to modulate the effects of ocean acidification (OA) in nearshore macroalgal beds. We investigated whether natural mixed assemblages of the articulate coralline macroalga Arthrocardia ... -
Context-specific bioturbation mediates changes to ecosystem functioning
(Springer, 2011)Species are often grouped according to their biological or functional traits to better understand their contribution to ecosystem functioning. However, it is becoming clear that a single species can perform different roles ... -
Density and habitat dependent effects of crab burrows on sediment erodibility
(Elsevier, 2013)Despite biological interactions being highlighted as a key process in determining particle fluxes, relatively few studies have attempted to establish the links between burrow building bioturbators and sediment stability. ...
