Effects of Benthopelagic Animals on Seabed Properties
Abstract
The long-term goals of this research are to improve the ability of benthic biologists and biological oceanographers to observe life on and in the seabed; to describe the interactions between the animals that live there, their neighbors and their food; to improve our understanding of the coupling between the benthic and the pelagic communities; and to assess biologically mediated changes in those physical properties of the seabed that affect the scattering and penetration of sound from and into the bottom.
