Abstract: Soft-bottom bioturbators are ecosystem engineers in the sense that they can have considerable effects on sediment erodibility and resuspension. The common cockle Cerastoderma edule is a bioturbating filter feeder that is widespread along the European… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract In this study, the erodibility of fluidized cohesive sediments from the seabed of Hangzhou Bay, China, was experimentally investigated in unidirectional open flows. The results indicated that the yield stress is a major factor… read more here.
