Bioturbation and Holocene sediment accumulation are quantified in the three experimental areas of the Benthic Boundary Layer (BENBO) programme by means of the natural radionuclides 14C and 210Pb and the artificial radionuclides 137Cs and 241Am. The Holocene accumulation rates, determined by the radi...
