This workpackage aims to gain more understanding of spatial patterns and interrelationships between sediment properties, biodiversity and habitats, and to create a larger series of relevant spatial layers required for application. It will be done by modeling the sediment functions such as bioturbation and bioirrigation for the whole study area. These services shall be considered in the system context of the sediment; both their influence on other services such as denitrification or sediment transport and their vulnerability by physical disturbances.
