• Physical Ecosystem Engineers as Agents of Biogeochemical Heterogeneity (2006, background): “While this uptake and release may result in knock-on chemical effects in soils and sediments (e.g., effects on soil drying, sediment redox) that can be legitimately considered to be chemical engineering (Caraco et al. 2006), they lie outside of the purview of this paper.”
• Response of aquatic plants to abiotic factors: a review (2011, background): “…induce increased eutrophication through nutrient release (e.g. through PO4 3- mobilisation from Fe–PO4 3- complexes (Moore et al. 1992; Smolders et al. 2006), thus favouring the dominance of floating species (Boedeltje et al. 2005), and oxygen depletion in the water layer (Caraco et al. 2006).”
• Effects of invasive species on plant communities: an example using submersed aquatic plants at the regional scale (2011, unknown): “For example, submersed plants can affect the availability of oxygen in aquatic ecosystems, which in turn can have cascading impacts on nutrient cycling and habitat (Caraco et al. 2006; Caraco and Cole 2002; Rybicki and Landwehr 2007).”
• The Concept of Organisms as Ecosystem Engineers Ten Years On: Progress, Limitations, and Challenges (2006, background): “…if ecologists can understand how organisms modify these physical and chemical abiotic factors, we are quite likely to be able to predict effects of ecosystem engineering on biogeochemical processes (Caraco et al. 2006, Gutiérrez and Jones 2006) and species distributions (Wright and Jones 2004).”
