| Abstract |
Benthic-pelagic coupling is described on a community level reviewing examples from Kiel Bight (Baltic Sea) and the Norwegian-Greenland Sea. An energy flow equation for marine sediments is developed, analogous to the one for animals, which includes processes such as biodeposition, sedimentation, as well as lateral advection, all types of bioturbation, and physical transport mechanisms through the sediment-water interface. The fast response and deep-reaching effects of sedimentation events the budget problem, and the importance of lateral advection as well as resuspension for the understanding of a marine soft-bottom ecosystem are discussed. |
