Patterns of carbon processing at the seafloor: the role of faunal and microbial communities in moderating carbon flows
Marine sediments, particularly those located in estuarine and coastal zones, are key locations for the burial of organic carbon (C). However, organic C delivered to the sediment is subjected to a range of biological C-cycling processes, the rates and relative importance of which vary markedly betwee...
