This amount contributes to sediment enrichment, which may pose a long-term risk for benthicorganisms.
2
Seahorses feed on plankton and mobile benthicorganisms.
3
Severe potential ecological risks of γ-HCH to benthicorganisms at some sampling sites were found based on the consensus-based sediment quality guidelines.
Uso de benthos em inglês
1
Our knowledge of the biodiversity of the Southern Ocean (SO) deep benthos is scarce.
2
Here we show that sponges have the greatest influence on the dynamics of the Antarctic benthos.
3
Presence of habitat complexity, however, dampened the strength of this temperature effect on the abundance of macroinvertebrates in the benthos.
4
The great majority of algae, however, grow like land-plants attached to a substratum, and to these the term benthos is now generally applied.
