- Pathways of organic matter degradation in marine coastal sediments: implications to ecosystem functioning, BP.PD
Abstract
The main mechanisms that regulate organic matter (OM) mineralization in marine sediments include distribution and concentration of electron acceptors, quantity and quality of OM and bioturbation of benthic macrofauna. Degradation processes that occur in the sediment play a key role on coastal ecosystem functioning, for example to return nutrients to the water, to establish benthic-pelag...
