“…Nevertheless, bioturbators generally make the sediment less resistant to erosion by loosening it with their activities (Willows, et al, 1998;Ciutat, et al, 2007;Montserrat, et al, 2008;Volkenborn, et al, 2009;van Prooijen, et al, 2011;Rakotomalala, et al, 2015;Cozzoli, et al, 2018a;Joensuu, et al, 2018). The effect of bioturbators on cohesive sediment resuspension impacts the short-and long-term development of coastal morphology (Le Hir, et al, 2007;Orvain, et al, 2012;Winterwerp, et al, 2018), and should hence be taken into account when forecasting the evolution of landscapes and ecosystems Orvain, 2005;Orvain, et al, 2012;Bouma, et al, 2014;Queirós, et al, 2015;Nasermoaddeli, et al, 2018). Beyond coastal morphology, sediment resuspension is related to the oxygenation and the transfer of particles and nutrients within the sediment layers and from the sediment surface to the water column (Ubertini, et al, 2012).…”
