Context-Specific Bioturbation Mediates Changes to Ecosystem Functioning (2011, background): “nutrient cycling are often measured as proxies for ecosystem health and functioning as they act as indicators of environmental change (Widdicombe and Austen 1998; Peterson and Heck 2001; Lohrer and others 2004; Webb and Eyre 2004; Thrush and others 2006).”
The ecological role of bivalve shellfish aquaculture in the estuarine environment: A review with application to oyster and clam culture in West Coast (USA) estuaries (2009, background): “Nutrients released by bivalves into sediment porewater can stimulate production of seagrasses, as documented for mussels growing with seagrass in Europe, Florida, and southern California (Reusch et al., 1994; Reusch and Williams, 1998; Peterson and Heck, 1999, 2001).”
