Definition of bioturbation in English:

bioturbation

noun ˌbʌɪəʊtəːˈbeɪʃ(ə)nˌbīōtərˈbāSH(ə)n

mass nounGeology

The disturbance of sedimentary deposits by living organisms.
〔地质〕生物扰动（作用）
Example sentencesExamples
- In the present article, we use high-resolution chemical and radiochemical data as the basis for a numerical simulation of sediment accumulation, bioturbation, and episodic deposition or erosion in a dynamic estuary.
- Rates of sediment accumulation, differential bioturbation and preservational processes may also have influenced the final diversity of fossils in the rocks.
- The random inclination of other concentrations of fragmentary specimens is indicative of post mortem disturbance due to bioturbation.
- Grey massive mudstone beds may also form as a result of rapid deposition by floods or of homogenization resulting from bioturbation by roots or animals.
- In the broadest sense, any kind of sediment disturbance is bioturbation.
- The abrupt facies shift, bioturbation and cemented nature of the surfaces suggests that they represent marine flooding surfaces, formed during a rapid rise in relative sea level and/or a reduction in sediment supply.

Derivatives

bioturbated

adjective

Geology

The transition is characterized by the occurrence of nodular, bioturbated limestones that indicate a decrease in accumulation rate.
Example sentencesExamples
- Sandbodies are abruptly overlain by bioturbated sandy muds with flint pebble horizons that represent transgressive reworking of the delta top and deepening into open shelf conditions.
- The high trace fossil abundance but low diversity in the heavily bioturbated horizons points to a relatively restricted or stressed environment.
- As the bioturbating activity of animals mixes faecal material into the primary sediment fabric, assumptions about clay mineral homogeneity in any given bioturbated sediment package may be erroneous.
- However, its stratigraphic position is constrained by the first appearance of bioturbated mud facies typical of the distal ice-shelf setting in the other cores, as well as by the shear strength data.

Origin

1960s: from bio- + Latin turbatio(n-), from turbare 'disturb'.
