An integrated experimental and modeling approach to predict sediment mixing from benthic burrowing behavior

KR Roche, AF Aubeneau, M Xie, T Aquino… - … science & technology, 2016 - ACS Publications
Bioturbation is the dominant mode of sediment transport in many aquatic environments and
strongly influences both sediment biogeochemistry and contaminant fate. Available
bioturbation models rely on highly simplified biodiffusion formulations that inadequately
capture the behavior of many benthic organisms. We present a novel experimental and
modeling approach that uses time-lapse imagery to directly relate burrow formation to
resulting sediment mixing. We paired white-light imaging of burrow formation with …
