Abstract A two-dimensional (2D) imaging technique, planar optode (PO) technique, is
developed to investigate biogeochemical processes at a high resolution in heterogeneous …

Heatwaves have increased in intensity, duration and frequency over the last decades due to
climate change. Intertidal species, living in a highly variable environment, are likely to be …

Function in ecology can be understood as the role that each component plays in the
surrounding environment. It can be studied through the functional traits of organisms and …

The effects of single macrofauna taxa on benthic nitrogen (N) cycling have been extensively
studied, whereas how macrofaunal communities affect N-related processes remains poorly …

In productive coastal sediments the separation between different biogeochemical zones (eg
oxic, iron (III)-reducing and sulfate-reducing) may be on the scale of millimetres …

The influence of bioturbation induced by bottom‐dwelling macrozoobenthos on nitrogen
dynamics in lotic stream sediments remains unclear. In this work, we advance the …

Despite the role of bioturbation in controlling biogeochemical processes taking place at the
sediment-water interface, little is still known about how animal behaviours influence …

Macrofauna can produce contrasting biogeochemical effects in intact and reconstructed
sediments. We measured benthic fluxes of oxygen, inorganic carbon, and nitrogen and …

Invasive macroalgae represent a growing global concern, yet there has been little research
detailing their effects on native ecosystem metabolism and flow hydrodynamics. In this in situ …

Coastal marine ecosystems are under increasing threat from environmental shifts
associated with climate change, particularly increasing temperatures, as temperature …
