Stratified vertical sediment profiles increase burrowing crab effects on salt marsh edaphic conditions

Abstract: Burrowing animals can profoundly affect the biological structure and ecosystem functions of their environments. For instance, burrowing crabs increase sediment deposition and facilitate sediment homogenization and turnover, with potential impacts to sediment biogeochemistry. However, the relative importance of burrowing crabs on sediment dynamics can vary considerably between, and within, habitats. Sediment properties influence how burrowing crabs will affect edaphic conditions, but these studies often assume … Show more

“…We used measurements taken at the end of each region's growing season (AL = October; CA = September) in all ANOVAs; thus, time was not a factor in any of our models. All temporal data are available in Rinehart, Dybiec, Richardson, et al (2023).…”

“…AL‐CON was initially constructed in 1987 by harvesting pine savanna habitat and excavating topsoil down to a clay layer that intercepted the water table and was 0.27 m above mean sea level (NAVD88 datum). AL‐CON and AL‐NAT are separated by an approximately 0.5‐km thick pine savanna and have distinct hydrodynamics and biological structure (Dybiec et al, 2023; Ledford et al, 2021; Rinehart, Dybiec, Mortazavi, et al, 2023; Tatariw et al, 2021). The site was then planted with needlerush ( Juncus roemerianus ) and smooth cordgrass ( Spartina alterniflora ) in 1988 (Vittor et al, 1987).…”
