Influence of benthic macrofauna community shifts on ecosystem functioning in shallow estuaries
We aim at identifying how ecosystem functioning in shallow estuaries is affected by rapid
shifts in benthic fauna communities. We use the shallow estuary, Odense Fjord, Denmark, as …

Ecosystem functioning and functional approaches on marine macrobenthic fauna: A research synthesis towards a global consensus
The global trend in losing biodiversity is affecting ecosystems due to changes in their
functions and services. Biodiversity and Ecosystem Functioning has become increasingly …

A bioturbation classification of E uropean marine infaunal invertebrates
Bioturbation, the biogenic modification of sediments through particle reworking and burrow
ventilation, is a key mediator of many important geochemical processes in marine systems …

Consequences of increasing hypoxic disturbance on benthic communities and ecosystem functioning
Disturbance-mediated species loss has prompted research considering how ecosystem
functions are changed when biota is impaired. However, there is still limited empirical …

Trait-based approaches in rapidly changing ecosystems: A roadmap to the future polar oceans
Polar marine regions are facing rapid changes induced by climate change, with
consequences for local faunal populations, but also for overall ecosystem functioning, goods …

Changes in ecosystem function across sedimentary gradients in estuaries
The input of terrestrial silt and clay (hereafter mud) into coastal environments can alter
sediment grain size distribution affecting the structure and functioning of benthic …

Changes in the location of biodiversity–ecosystem function hot spots across the seafloor landscape with increasing sediment nutrient loading
Declining biodiversity and loss of ecosystem function threatens the ability of habitats to
contribute ecosystem services. However, the form of the relationship between biodiversity …

Macrofaunal functional diversity provides resilience to nutrient enrichment in coastal sediments
The degradation of ecosystems is often associated with losses of large organisms and the
concomitant losses of the ecological functions they mediate. Conversely, the resilience of …

Context-specific bioturbation mediates changes to ecosystem functioning
Species are often grouped according to their biological or functional traits to better
understand their contribution to ecosystem functioning. However, it is becoming clear that a …
