Seasonality of bioirrigation by the maldanid polychaete Clymenella torquata and related oxygen dynamics in permeable sediments

Benthic organisms in coastal sediments affect elemental cycling and control benthic-pelagic coupling through particle reworking and ventilation of their burrows. Bioirrigation and associated porewater advection create intermittently oxic regions within sediments. The spatio-temporal patterns of such...
