Abstract

At natural population abundances, each species has major effects on sediment overlying water solute transport, bulk sediment reaction rates, and microbial distributions. Despite their limitations, transport-reaction models and a 2-D or nonlocal parameterization models in particular, provide a consistent basis for description of the effects of macroinfauna on bulk sediment properties, and allow for comparison of different species at similar population abundances.-from Authors
