Physical disturbance by bottom trawling suspends particulate matter and alters biogeochemical processes on and near the seafloor
Bottom trawling is known to affect benthic faunal communities but its effects on sediment
suspension and seabed biogeochemistry are less well described. In addition, few studies …
