Release 4.0

The activities of a diverse array of sediment-dwelling fauna are known to mediate rates of carbon remineralisation, biogeochemical cycling and other important properties of marine ecosystems. Here we provide a comprehensive database of measured values of bioturbation intensity (Db), burrow ventilation rate (q1 and q2) and the mixed depth (L) of marine soft sediments compiled from the peer reviewed scientific literature.
