Mud, Microbes, and Macrofauna: Seasonal Dynamics of the Iron Biogeochemical Cycle in an Intertidal Mudflat

Mud, Microbes, and Macrofauna: Seasonal Dynamics of the Iron Biogeochemical Cycle in an Intertidal Mudflat

Microorganisms and burrowing animals exert a pronounced impact on the cycling of redox sensitive metals in coastal sediments. We hypothesized that the iron biogeochemical cycle and associated sedimentary microbial community will respond to seasonal changes in a bioturbated intertidal mudflat. In thi...
