Ecology and Applications of Benthic Foraminifera

John W. Murray
TL;DR: This book presents the ecological background required to explain how fossil forms are used in dating rocks and reconstructing past environmental features including changes of sea level and demonstrates how living foraminifera can be used to monitor modern-day environmental change.

Benthic indicators to use in Ecological Quality classification of Mediterranean soft bottom marine ecosystems, including a new Biotic Index

Nomiki Simboura, +1 more
- 01 Dec 2002 - 
TL;DR: A new biotic index (BENTIX) is proposed based on the relative percentages of three ecological groups of species grouped according to their sensitivity or tolerance to disturbance factors and weighted proportionately to obtain a formula rendering a five step numerical scale of ecological quality classification.

Organic carbon content of sediments as an indicator of stress in the marine benthos

Jeffrey L. Hyland, +7 more
- 23 Jun 2005 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, synoptic data on the structure of macroinfaunal communities and total organic carbon (TOC) content of sediment were obtained from 951 stations representing 7 coastal regions of the world: the northern Black Sea (Crimean and Caucasian coasts); eastern Mediterranean Sea (Greece); North Sea (Ekofisk oil field); Firth of Clyde and Liverpool Bay, UK; Seto Inland Sea, Japan; Boston Harbor and Massachusetts Bay, USA and estuaries of the southeastern USA.

Community structure and spatial variation of benthic invertebrates associated with Zostera marina (L.) beds in the northern Baltic Sea

Christoffer Boström, +1 more
- 01 May 1997 - 
TL;DR: The mechanisms structuring both the Zostera and the ambient sand-bottom habitats are presented, which are among the most species-rich components of the shallow soft-bottom ecosystems in the northern Baltic Sea.

Contrasting Effects of Two Burrowing Crabs (Chasmagnathus granulata and Uca uruguayensis) on Sediment Composition and Transport in Estuarine Environments

Florencia Botto, +1 more
- 01 Aug 2000 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors found that the burrowing crabs Chasmagnathus granulata and Uca uruguayensis are important bioturbators of intertidal flats in SW Atlantic estuaries reworking large amounts of sediment and influencing sediment quality and bedload transport.
