Benthic O2 availability regulates many important biogeochemical processes and has crucial
implications for the biology and ecology of benthic communities. Further, the benthic O2 …

Benthic macrofaunal populations through their feeding, bioturbation, burrow construction
and sediment irrigation activities have profound influences on organic matter inputs to …

The globally important nature of wetland ecosystems has led to their increased protection
and restoration as well as their use in engineered systems. Underpinning the beneficial …

Meiobenthology is the science of the tiny animals that live in huge numbers in all aquatic
sediments. This fully revised and enlarged second edition emphasizes new discoveries and …

For more than a decade I have taught a graduate-level course in marine sediment
geochemistry that covers many of the topics discussed in this book. The goal now is to …

Denitrification is a critical process that can alleviate the effects of excessive nitrogen
availability in aquatic ecosystems subject to eutrophication. An important part of …

This paper presents a new non-invasive technique for measuring sediment O 2 uptake that,
in its concept, differs fundamentally from other methods used to date. In almost all natural …

The occurrence and significance of the anammox (anaerobic ammonium oxidation) process
relative to denitrification was studied in photosynthetically active sediment from 2 shallow …

Benthic communities and benthic mineralization were studied in two shallow coastal regions
of New Zealand: Tasman Bay, a possible future site for mussel farm development, and …

The importance of bioturbation in mediating biogeochemical processes in the upper
centimetres of oceanic sediments provides a compelling reason for wanting to quantify in …
