Abstract Biogenic carbonate production in benthic marine ecosystems is dominated by representatives of the Echinodermata. Carbon and other major, minor, and trace elements are exported to the seabed where they accumulate or dissolve. Preserved carbonates (Mg-calcite) have applications in oceanograph...
