Biological vs. physical mixing effects on benthic food web dynamics.

Biological vs. physical mixing effects on benthic food web dynamics.

Biological particle mixing (bioturbation) and solute transfer (bio-irrigation) contribute extensively to ecosystem functioning in sediments where physical mixing is low. Macrobenthos transports oxygen and organic matter deeper into the sediment, thereby likely providing favourable niches to lower tr...
