Intertidal Bioerosion by Macroinvertebrates near Puerto Penasco, Northern Gulp of California
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 July 2017
Extract
Bioerosion–the active excavation of rock and shell material by organisms– is a significant degradational process in many marine sedimentary environments. This phenomenon is prominent in the northern Gulf of California, where coastal carbonate “beachrock” is undergoing erosion by a diverse suite of invertebrates. Near Puerto Peñasco, Sonora, the varied intertidal settings display distinctive associations of macroboring infauna, and accompanying biokarst.
