Organisms in the deep sea rely on gravity flows to lay down sediment and then make burrows beneath the seafloor, according to a new study.

Benthic ecosystems, which include the sediments and organisms at the bottom of aquatic environments, play a crucial role in nutrient cycling and overall ecosystem health. Bioturbation, the process ...

There were no discernible differences in inorganic N fluxes between the different plant species within the benthic community and vegetated and bare sediments, whereas DON fluxes differed significantly ...

CMBC promotes interdisciplinary research and educational approaches to maintain the integrity of ocean ecosystems and manage their use in the face of rapid and inevitable global change. A working ...

While the factors that promote jellyfish blooms and the impacts of live blooms on marine ecosystems are often investigated, the post-bloom effects from the sinking and accumulation of dead jellyfish ...

Our team investigates questions in marine benthic ecology, with a common interest in marine conservation related issues. Research lines include disturbance ecology, spatial ecology, biodiversity and ...

These tools were based on benthic diatoms, a major group of algae. Diatoms play a key role in the functioning of the ecosystems of oceans and freshwater basins and contribute approximately 25 per cent ...

My research focuses on the impact of such episodic events on benthic communities and the maintenance of their respective ecosystem functioning of bioturbation and nutrient cycling. Organisms possess ...

Craig Brown joined our Department in November 2019. His research group adopt an interdisciplinary approach for the study of benthic ecosystems utilizing the latest acoustic remote sensing techniques ...

Skulking within these mats was plenty of cyanobacteria, the primary reproducer of the entire ecosystem. "The ice-sealed planktonic and benthic microbiota of Lake Enigma likely represent persistent ...
