The hypothesis that reducing conditions exist in localized zones of high organic matter,
termed microniches, was first suggested over a century ago, but only relatively recently have …

This review lists and discusses the different methods currently available to assess sediment
reworking by benthic infauna. Direct methods are used to estimate the amount of sediment …

Ebullition is an important pathway for methane emission from inland waters. However, the
mechanisms controlling methane bubble formation and release in aquatic sediments remain …

Publisher Summary This chapter focuses on the continuous physical properties of cored
marine sediments that provide the basis for stratigraphy and core correlation, the first insight …

The influence of sediment oxygen heterogeneity, due to bioturbation, on diffusive oxygen
flux was investigated. Laboratory experiments were carried out with 3 macrobenthic species …

Quantitative determination of modification of primary sediment features, by the activity of
organisms (ie, bioturbation) is essential in geosciences. Some methods proposed since the …

Abstract Characterization of trace fossils in marine core sediments is, most times, difficult
due to the weak differentiation between biogenic structures and the host sediment …

The huge tsunami waves induced by the 2011 off the Pacific coast of Tohoku Earthquake
severely affected shallow marine ecosystems along the Pacific coast of northeastern Japan …

We investigated the influence of bioturbation by macrofauna on the vertical distribution of
living (stained) benthic foraminifera in marine intertidal sediments. We investigated the links …

In urban areas, infiltration basins are designed to manage stormwater runoff from impervious
surfaces and allow the settling of associated pollutants. The sedimentary layer deposited at …
