A A review on Meiobenthic assemblage and its significance in the ecosystem
Keywords:
Meiobenthos, Assemblage, Abundance, Ecological indicators, Nutrient cycling, Sediment stabilization, Functional traitsAbstract
Meiobenthic assemblages are crucial components of the aquatic community, particularly in marine and estuarine ecosystems playing significant roles in nutrient cycling, sediment stabilization, and food web structures. Their abundance and diversity can be indicators of ecosystem health thus, making them an important focus for environmental monitoring and conservation efforts. Understanding and preserving meiobenthic communities are essential for maintaining the overall functionality and resilience of aquatic ecosystems.
