Responses of Estuarine Benthic Invertebrates to Sediment Burial: The Importance of Mobility and Adaptation (2006, background): “Sediment deposition resulting from terrestrial run-off is also emerging as a threat to shallow estuarine and coastal benthic communities worldwide (Edgar & Barrett, 2000; Norkko et al., 2002).”
Habitat change in estuaries: predicting broad-scale responses of intertidal macrofauna to sediment mud content (2003, background): “…insight into chronic habitat change such as increased muddiness; they do not provide insight into the acute effects associated with disturbance events such as catastrophic deposition of terrestrial sediment (e.g. see Norkko et al. 2002, Cummings et al. 2003, Hewitt et al. 2003, Thrush et al. 2003).”
Animal-sediment relationships re-visited: Characterising species' distributions along an environmental gradient using canonical analysis and quantile regression splines (2008, background): “, 1997), bioturbation (Levinton, 1995), physical disturbance (Probert, 1984; Thrush and Dayton, 2002), sedimentation (Peterson, 1985; Norkko et al., 2002), pollution (Gray,1992; Gray et al.”
Cumulative impacts of seabed trawl disturbance on benthic biomass, production, and species richness in different habitats (2006, background): “However, large infaunal organisms may also play facilitating roles (e.g. Norkko et al. 2002), and in this case, the model will have underestimated the impact of trawling.”
