"Biogeochemistry of tube-dwellings: A study of the sedentary polychaete" by Robert C. Aller and Josephine Y. Yingst
 

Abstract

Most studies of near interface sediments assume that chemically and biologicalJy important properties are stratified vertically in a deposit. Sampling patterns reflect this assumption and little attention has been paid to three-dimensional heterogeneity. In this study the effects of burrow structures formed by Amphitrite ornata on the distribution of physical, chemical, and biological characteristics of a deposit are investigated....
