Understanding the impact of sand extraction on benthic ecosystem functioning: a combination of functional indices and biological trait analysis
Marine aggregates have been intensively extracted in the North-East Atlantic over the past decades. This study aimed to assess the effect of sand extraction on benthic ecosystem functioning using a combination of biological traits and functional indices (the bioturbation (BPc) and irrigation potenti...
