{"product_id":"the-influence-of-bioirrigation-von-terri-shattuck","title":"The Influence of Bioirrigation","description":"\u003cp\u003eNear-shore marine environments are complex  ecosystems where much of the global benthic flux of  metals and nutrients take place between the seawater  and sediment (Meile et al, 2003). Bioirrigation is  the increase of solute transport resulting from  introduction of oxygenated water from the surface  into the more reduced environment deep within the  burrow. Fe and Mn hydr-(oxides) accumulate on burrow  margins in response to the oxygen flux into suboxic  porewaters and has been shown to trap trace metals  (Harding and Risk, 1986; Tessier and Campbell, 1988;  Tessier et al., 1979, 1982). The diagenesis,  mobility, and transport of metals may enhance the  bioavailability of metals in the environment,  possibly to the extent of harming ecosystems,  especially in coastal areas with anthropogenic  waste.  This study assesses Fe and trace metal  speciation influenced by bioirrigation in and near  burrows collected off the coasts of Georgia and  Washington. Overall, this study found that  bioirrigation does play a role in metal distribution  and retention near burrows, but sediment mineralogy,  grain size and organic matter were also significant  factors at the studied sites.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783838367682\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDiagenisis, Mobility, and Transport of Trace Metal Distribution Within Saltmarsh Burrows\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783838367682","offer_id":39469251330141,"sku":"9783838367682","price":49.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/dbabaa2b-b1d7-4c88-8484-8296cdf15c65.jpg?v=1758174135","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/en\/products\/the-influence-of-bioirrigation-von-terri-shattuck","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
