Fiddler crab burrowing affects growth and production of the white mangrove (Laguncularia racemosa) in a restored Florida coastal marsh (2009, background): “Further research is needed to determine whether burrowing can inXuence percolation rates, and thus evaporation rates in marsh sediments (see Stieglitz et al. 2000).”
Mangrove crabs as ecosystem engineers; with emphasis on sediment processes (2008, background): “ Stieglitz et al. (2000) found that the total flow through large burrows of Sesarma messa in northern Australia is up to 100 L m−2 tide−1,”
Faunal impact on vegetation structure and ecosystem function in mangrove forests: A review (2008, background): “, 1992), providing an efficient mechanism for exchanging water between the swamp soil and the overlying water (Ridd, 1996), and thus resulting, among other benefits, in the removal of accumulated salt from around mangrove roots (Stieglitz et al., 2000).”
