Radiocarbon dating series, bulk sediment, and organic carbon flux from various Atlantic deep-sea regions reveal that the thickness of the bioturbated zone increases by 2 cm if food supply increases by 1 gC/m**2/yr (r = 0.8). Bulk sediment accumulation rates do not influence the depth of bioturbation...
