The context-specific roles of a bioturbating crab (Austrohelice crassa) on ecosystem functioning
… and burrow maintenance, measured across a sedimentary gradient. Burrows were over 18 times more stable in mud than sand equating to over an order of magnitude reduction in sediment reworking rates, shifting the primary bioturbational role from burrow builder in mud to sediment mixer …

Denitrification response to nutrient enrichment in New Zealand estuaries
… levels could be partially explained by the sedimentary environment and macrofaunal community. To test the effect of sedimentary environment on denitrification enzyme activity (DEA) response to nutrient perturbation, an in situ enrichment experiment was conducted across an intertidal …

Changes in benthic ecosystem properties and functions across sedimentary gradients in estuaries
… of how benthic ecosystems respond to changes in sedimentary regimes is crucial to our ability to project and manage the impacts of environmental change. In this thesis, I investigated the multifaceted effects of increased sediment loading on the benthic biota and their functioning using natural …
