The Role of Biodiversity in the Functioning of Freshwater and Marine Benthic Ecosystems

Alan P. Covich, +11 more
- 01 Aug 2004 - 
TL;DR: Results from these small-scale, low-diversity manipulative studies indicate that the effects of changes in biodiversity are highly variable over space and time and frequently depend on specific biological traits or functional roles of individual species.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bioturbation, ecosystem functioning and community structure

Catherine L. Biles, +4 more
- 31 Dec 2002 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of infaunal community structure on the functioning of marine systems is proposed primarily through bioturbation of the sediment, which is used as a measure of ecosystem functioning.
Journal ArticleDOI

Flow modifies the effect of biodiversity on ecosystem functioning: an in situ study of estuarine sediments

Catherine L. Biles, +5 more
- 12 Feb 2003 - 
TL;DR: Flow was found to have a highly significant effect on ecosystem functioning in both natural and assembled communities in treatments containing macrofauna, indicating that flow generates an effect through promoting changes in bioturbatory activity of the infauna causing greater disruption to the sediment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biodiversity and ecosystem processes in shallow coastal waters: an experimental approach

Dave Raffaelli, +4 more
- 01 Mar 2003 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a series of experiments whereby species richness has been manipulated in a controlled way and the concentrations of nutrients (ammonium, nitrate and phosphate) in the overlying water measured under these different treatments.
Journal ArticleDOI

Form, function and physics : the ecology of biogenic stabilisation

David M. Paterson, +8 more
- 07 May 2018 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the MASTS pooling initiative (The Marine Alliance for Science and Technology for Scotland) and the Extended Evolutionary Synthesis Research Program funded by the John Templeton Foundation and by NERC awards NE/J015644/1 and NE/N016009/1 - CBESS, and Blue Coast.
