The impact of mobile demersal fishing on carbon storage in seabed sediments
Subtidal marine sediments are one of the planet's primary carbon stores and strongly
influence the oceanic sink for atmospheric CO2. By far the most widespread human activity …

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 …
