Benthic Ecology

Benthic Ecology is a subfield of ecology and biological oceanography that investigates the composition, dynamics, and interactions of organisms and communities inhabiting the benthic zone—the sediments and associated interfaces at the bottom of marine, estuarine, and other aquatic ecosystems—and their roles in ecosystem structure and functioning.
