Long-term macrobioerosion in the Mediterranean Sea assessed by micro-computed tomography

Biological erosion is a key process for the recycling of carbonate and the formation of calcareous sediments in the oceans. Experimental studies showed that bioerosion is subject to distinct temporal variability, but previous long-term studies were restricted to tropical waters. Here, we present res...
