Biological Processes and Effects

Research Needs

• Likely dominant influence on fate and transport in stable environments

• Need to better understand diagenesis and relation to metals speciation

• Need to improve usage of radionuclide tracer tools

• Need to better understand individual organism behavior

• Need to be able to predict influence of bioturbation
  • Population dynamics
  • Seasonal variations
  • Effect of sediment characteristics
