Abstract / Description of output

This chapter provides a summary of benthic processes and benthic-pelagic coupling in estuarine and coastal settings and how they contribute to the recognized biogeochemical importance of these environments. This is followed by a synopsis of the environmental controls on benthic faunal communities and the diverse ways in which benthic fauna contribute to sediment biogeochemistry. The main focus of the chapter is on methods and experimental details of tracer techniques that have been developed to assess these faunal processes, a summary of results from recent studies, and suggestions for future research.
