Übersetzung für 'Bioerosion' von Englisch nach Deutsch

bioerosion

Bioerosion {f}ecol.

• Erosion along limestone shores, notably in the tropics, produces karst topography that includes a sharp makatea surface above the normal reach of the sea, and undercuts that are mostly the result of biological activity or bioerosion at or a little above mean sea level.
• The species is easily broken into fragments by storms or bioerosion, with the fragments readily growing into new colonies.
• The beach erosion is a type of bioerosion which alters the coastal geography through beach morphodynamics.
• There are several biogeomorphological processes. Bioerosion is the weathering and removal of abiotic material via organic processes.
• The grazing activity contributes to echinoid bioerosion.

• Parrotfish cause a great deal of bioerosion using well developed jaw muscles, tooth armature, and a pharyngeal mill, to grind ingested material into sand-sized particles.
• This serves as evidence of a common bioerosion mechanism in which secreted acid is produced by anaerobic respiration.
• polychaete worms and bivalve molluscs bore holes into colonies of this coral, causing bioerosion.
• Biopitting is a geologic phenomenon that occurs when small pits are created in rock as a result of the bioerosion induced by different organisms and/or microorganisms (for example, fungi, bacteria, algae, lichens).
• In the course of tearing up the mat the urchin also abrades the underlying surface, causing bioerosion.

• The formation of the ooid cortex around the test or shell protects it from abrasion, fragmentation and bioerosion.
• Their numerous teeth are arranged in a tightly packed mosaic on the external surface of their jaw bones, forming a parrot-like beak with which they rasp algae from coral and other rocky substrates (which contributes to the process of bioerosion).
• Bioerosion through time has produced a magnificent record of borings, gnawings, scratchings and scrapings on hard substrates.
• Parrotfishes are known for the bioerosion that they cause.
• This process is known as bioerosion. It is most common in the tropics, and it is known throughout the fossil record.
