Diverse biological communities mediate the transformation, transport, and storage of
elements fundamental to life on Earth, including carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen. However …

A great diversity of organisms modify the physical structure of estuarine and coastal
environments. These physical ecosystem engineers–particularly, dune and marsh plants …

Assessing submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) in mangroves can be challenging due
to the complex, heterogeneous nature of sediments and temporally dynamic water flows …

Ecological functions of bioturbation in ecosystems have received increasing attention over
the recent decades, and crab burrowing has been considered as one of the major …

Organic matter (OM) remineralization plays a key role in controlling the biogeochemistry of
marine sediments. Through their burrowing activities, bioturbating macrofauna not only …

Infaunal invertebrate activity can fundamentally alter physicochemical conditions in
sediments and influence nutrient cycling. However, despite clear links between invertebrate …

Abstract Theory predicts that ecosystem engineers should have their most dramatic effects
when they enable species, through habitat amelioration, to live in zones where physical and …

The stress‐gradient hypothesis predicts that interactions among plants are context
dependent, shifting from facilitation to competition as environmental stress decreases …

Mangroves are increasingly being recognized as a major player in coastal hydrological and
biogeochemical cycles with their complex belowground structure (ie, crab burrows) …
