Key Points

This research aims to explore the role of macrofauna in the exchange processes between sediment and the water column in coastal ecosystems.
Field sampling of macrofauna and sediment from the Darß-Zingst Bodden Chain.
Analysis of water and sediment characteristics to assess exchange processes.
Utilization of statistical methods to correlate macrofauna presence with sediment-water interactions.
Identified significant interactions between macrofauna distributions and sediment characteristics.
Observed higher exchange rates of nutrients and gases in areas with abundant macrofauna.
Findings indicate macrofauna's crucial role in maintaining sediment-water column dynamics.

Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
