Mangrove macrobenthos: Assemblages, services, and linkages (2008, background): “Macrobenthos such as fiddler crabsmaywork synergisticallywith the aerating action ofAvicennia marina pneumatophores in regulating microbe-mediated nutrient processes in mangrove sediments (Kristensen and Alongi, 2006).”
Bioremediation of Mangroves Impacted by Petroleum (2011, background): “Whereas the aerobic microbial community consumes debris that is deposited on the sediment surface, anaerobic microorganisms are fed by debris that is buried by members of the meiofauna and of the macrofauna, by the biomass produced by dead underground roots and the excretion of dissolved organic car”
Mangrove crabs as ecosystem engineers; with emphasis on sediment processes (2008, background): “herbivores that retain, bury, macerate and ingest litter and microalgal mats (Emmerson and McGwynne, 1992; Lee, 1997; Kristensen and Alongi, 2006).”
Organic carbon dynamics in mangrove ecosystems : a review (2008, background): “Rates of benthic primary production by microphytobenthos have been reported from different mangrove ecosystems, and range between 7 and 73 mol C m 2 year 1 (Gattuso et al., 1998; Holmer et al., 2001; Kristensen and Alongi, 2006).”
