TLDR
In this article, the amount of bioturbation decreased up the estuary as the salinities became lower and the bottom-dwelling fauna changed in composition.About:

What is bioturbation? The need for a precise definition for fauna in aquatic sciences
Erik Kristensen,Gil Penha-Lopes,Matthieu Delefosse,Thomas Bruun Valdemarsen,Cintia Organo Quintana,Gary Thomas Banta +5 more
TL;DR: The term "bioturbation" is frequently used to describe how living organisms affect the substratum in which they live as discussed by the authors, and it has been used in aquatic scientific disciplines to describe all transport processes carried out by animals that directly or indirectly affect sediment matrices.

Sediment-Mediated Biological Disturbance and the Evolution of Marine Benthos
TL;DR: A particular focus has been biological disturbance of unconsolidated marine sediments (reviewed by Carney, 1981; Gray, 1974; Lee and Swartz, 1980; Rhoads and Boyer, 1982), which leaves a preservable record as mentioned in this paper.

The Influence of Bioturbation on Physical, Chemical and Biological Parameters in Aquatic Environments: A Review
TL;DR: The role of benthic macroinvertebrates in sediment processing is of importance for investigators attempting to describe the dynamics of a wide range of materials in aquatic environments as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biogeomorphological implications of microscale interactions between sediment geotechnics and marine benthos: a review
TL;DR: The potential significance of these interactions, which take place at a micro-scale level of millimetres to metres, for the large-scale geomorphology of the seabed has rarely been appreciated.

Biogenic Reworking of Intertidal and Subtidal Sediments in Barnstable Harbor and Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts
TL;DR: In this article, a biogenic reworking of marine sediments is described from intertidal deposits in Barnstable Harbor and subtidal sediments of Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts.

Some relations of estuarine organisms to salinity
TL;DR: All marine organisms and most estuarine organisms can withstand full sea water, but some of them cannot withstand lowered salinities and thus the species numbers decline with theSalinity gradient decline in estuaries, and the same thing is noted with the salinity gradient rise in hypersaline areas.

Minor Internal Structures of Some Recent Unconsolidated Sediments
TL;DR: In this paper, the Gulf of Mexico sediments are divided into regular layers (thin beds or laminations), irregular layers (rough or crude layers and lenses), mottles (discontinuous lumps, tubes, and pockets), and structureless homogeneous sediments, depending on the principal type that occurs.
