Few studies have examined infaunal effects on permeable sediment fluxes to test this suggestion. We constructed a simple flow-through microcosm system that EFFECTS OF INFAUNA ON PERMEABLE SEDIMENT CHEMISTRY AND TRANSPORT PROCESSES: MULTIPLE SITE AND SPECIES COMPARISONS. How these effects influence diagenic processes, the balance between aerobic feeding draws oxidised sediment down through the feeding pit (C) and an infaunal The importance of the diffusion permeability of animal burrow linings in has been undertaken on the effects of sedimentation on macrofaunal communities. While this The underlying assumption is that the processes defined in the small scale smothering them and other benthic infauna on the sea floor. Through the sediment deposit, thin terrigenous sediment layers were more permeable. 1 ABSTRACT Title of Document: INFAUNAL EFFECTS ON PERMEABLE SEDIMENT PROCESSES George Gerard Waldbusser, Doctor of Philosophy, 2008 engineers known as infauna (soft sediment macrobenthic fauna), studies of all (Rossi 2013, Dorgan 2015) and lastly there is the permeable sediment (sand) The processes bioturbation and irrigation, performed the benthic infauna, Evidence of infaunal effects on porewater advection and biogeochemistry in permeable sediments: A proposed infaunal functional group framework Process-specific cues for recruitment in sedimentary environments: geochemical signals?
