Benthic invertebrates play an important role in oxygen uptake and nutrient cycling in the
benthic boundary layer. The invertebrate activity, as well as the effects of the bioturbation on …

Corbicula fluminea (Asian clam) can assemble in high densities and dominate benthic
communities. To evaluate the influence of this clam on sediment oxygen uptake and nutrient …

The relationships between nutrient dynamics and the bacterial community at the water–
sediment interface were investigated using the results of nutrient release fluxes, bacterial …

The main objective of this study was to measure the impact of benthic invertebrate diversity
on processes occurring at the water–sediment interface. We analyzed the effects of …

Exploring nitrogen and phosphorus dynamics in estuarine ecosystems is of great
significance for understanding the nutrient cycle in terrestrial and marine ecosystems …

Since the mud snail Bullacta exarata was introduced for economic aquaculture in the
Huanghe River (Yellow River) Delta in 2001, its quick population growth and expanded …

Using a mesocosm system, we investigated the influence of Tegillarca granosa on benthic-
fluxes, sediment oxygen consumption (SOC), sediment properties, and vertical-dynamics of …

Freshwater macrophytes may increase sediment redox potential and the affinity of
sediments for phosphorus through radial oxygen loss from their below-ground biomass. This …

The effect of the hard clam Mercenaria mercenaria (L.) on the exchange of dissolved
nutrients (silicate, phosphate, ammonium, nitrate+ nitrite) and gases (oxygen, carbon …

Sediment is a very important treasury stock or releasing source of nutrients in water column,
playing a significant role in aquatic ecosystems. The behavior of benthic macro-invertebrate …
