Bioturbation by mammals and fire interact to alter ecosystem-level nutrient dynamics in longleaf pine forests.
Activities of ecosystem engineers can interact with other disturbances to modulate rates of key processes such as productivity and nutrient cycling. Bioturbation, movement of soil by organisms, is a widespread form of ecosystem engineering in terrestrial ecosystems. We propose that bioturbation by s...
