Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology 488:44

Highlights
  • Nutrient content were decreased significantly by bioturbation.
  • Pore-water profiles in sediments were significantly influenced by bioturbation.
  • The microbial community in sediments was not significantly changed by bioturbation.
  • The relative abundance of Nitrospirae and the number of AOB amoA copies were increased significantly by bioturbation.
