[Coral-List] Bioturbulence Proven as a Factor in Ocean Mixing and it's Implications

[Tito Lotufo]

Hi coral-listers,
I’d like to add some relevant literature concerning the bioturbulence effect on water column mixing. This one was published in 2018 and shows how zooplankton aggregations may generate eddies strong enough to change the water stratification. There are some other really interesting papers cited by Houghton et al.

Cheers,
Tito
