Abstract:
ABSTRACT Bioturbating organisms can dramatically alter the physical, chemical, and hydrological properties of the sediment and promote or hinder microbial growth. They are a classic example of “ecosystem engineers” as they alter the availability of resources to other species. Multiple evolutionary hypotheses evoke bioturbation as a possible driver for historical ecological change. To test these hypotheses, researchers need reliable and reproducible methods for estimating the impact of bioturbation in ancient environments. Early efforts to record and compare this impact through geologic time fo

Abstract:
Ichnological analysis, particularly assessing bioturbation index, provides critical parameters for characterizing many oil and gas reservoirs. It provides information on reservoir quality, paleodepositional conditions, redox conditions, and more. However, accurately characterizing ichnological characteristics requires long hours of training and practice, and many marine or marginal marine reservoirs require these specialized expertise. This adds more load to geoscientists and may cause distraction, errors, and bias, particularly when continuously logging long sedimentary successions. In order

Abstract:
We assessed the influence of different organic matter (OM) inputs associated with terrigenous/freshwater allochthonous and sewage derive on bioturbation and irrigation potential community indices (BPc and IPc) of the soft-bottom macrofauna community. The macrofauna was sampled from two different sedimentary impacted areas, in front of the Po River Delta (northern Adriatic Sea) and sewage discharge diffusion zone (Gulf of Trieste). The highest values of BPc and IPc were observed at the northward sampling stations of the prodelta and the stations 25 m distance in front of the main sewage outfall

Abstract:
Macrozoobenthos plays a key role in the transformation of inputs from rivers to the sea, such as nutrients, organic matter, or pollutants, and influences biogeochemical processes in the sediments through bioturbation and bioirrigation activity. The purpose of our study was to determine the structure of benthic communities, their bioturbation (BPC) and bioirrigation potential (IPC), and the vertical distribution of macrofauna in the Gulf of Gdańsk. The study revealed changes in the structure of benthic communities and, consequently, in the bioturbation and bioirrigation potential in the study a

Abstract:
Zostera marina meadows play a key role in the Baltic Sea ecosystem. They are characterized by high primary production and provide feeding and reproduction grounds for organisms. These characteristics vary due to year-round environmental changes and may be due to the characteristics of the meadows themselves. Organisms inhabiting seagrass meadows are involved in the transformation of substances from terrestrial runoff, and, through bioturbation and bioirrigation, affect biogeochemical processes in the sediments. This study aimed to determine the structure of benthic communities inhabiting Z. ma

AbstractNutrient enrichment is a significant cause of ecosystem change in coastal habitats worldwide. This study focuses on the change in a benthic macroinvertebrate community and environmental quality as assessed through different biotic indices following the construction of a sewage outfall pipe in the west of Scotland, from first implementation to seven years after operation of the pipe. Benthic macroinvertebrates are an important part of marine ecosystems because they mediate ecosystem processes and functions, are a key part of food webs and they provide many ecosystem services.

Abstract:
The dramatic increase in soil degradation in the last few decades has led to the need to identify methods to define not only soil quality but also, in a holistic approach, soil health. In the past twenty years, indices based on living communities have been proposed alongside the already proven physical-chemical methods. Among them, some soil invertebrates have been included in monitoring programs as bioindicators of soil quality. Being an important portion of soil fauna, soil arthropods are involved in many soil processes such as organic matter decomposition and translocation, nutrient cycling

Abstract:
Benthic community bioirrigation potential (BIPc), an index developed to quantify the anticipated capacity of macrofauna to influence the solute exchange at the sediment–water interface, was calculated for the south-western Baltic Sea. This index can be regarded as an effect trait that is useful for predicting ecosystem processes impacted by animal burrow ventilation. The special feature, and presumably an advantage, of BIPc, compared to alternative recently developed benthic macrofauna-based bioirrigation indices, lies in its ability to distinguish the taxa-specific score values between diffus

Abstract Three-dimensional outcrop exposures of the Ferron Sandstone in the Willow Springs Wash area of east-central Utah illustrate the importance of recognizing allocyclic and autocyclic processes in marginal-marine settings. Three chronostratigraphically distinct wave-dominated shoreline sandstone successions display vertical offset at their landward pinchouts. These coarsening upward successions are interpreted to be parasequences produced by allocyclic processes. Fluids trapped within these sandstones may be compartmentalized by this vertical offset. In contrast, a fluvial-dominated coars

Abstract Reworked carbonate caused by the major erosional event of the "Turonian Unconformity" is considered to be distributed around the eastern part of Abu Dhabi, UAE. During 2021-2022, new wells were drilled in a prospective area where the reworked carbonate was deposited. By using the new wells data (wireline logs and cores) and pre-existing wells data, we considered lateral changes in sedimentary character and flow transitions of the reworked carbonate. We conducted a well-well correlation, based on the wireline logs (GR, Neutron, Density, Resistivity and Sonic) of a total of 5 wells whic

Abstract:
In July and October of 2008, selected physical-mechanical sediment properties were measured at 20 tidal flat experiment stations of 8 regions along the seashore of the modern Yellow River delta. At the same time, the environmental characteristics were observed. Seabed properties were compared with measurements of sediment erodibility made at the same stations to gain insight into the bioturbation and physical-mechanical sediment properties’ controls on sediment erodibility. Results indicate that crabs obviously alter the surface roughness of seabed, which makes the sediment more easily eroded
