Abstract:Biogenic sedimentary structures offer a unique perspective for understanding the role of the biosphere in the interaction with other Earth subsystems and the building up of our planet. The record of their ancient equivalents provides a wealth of information for reconstructing the role of bioturbators as ecosystem engineers using multiple ichnological proxies and methods. In this study, we present an overview of how bioturbation has worked across a broad range of spatial and temporal scales from the perspective… Show more
