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 C-14 and Pb-210 and the artificial radionuclides Cs-137 and Am-241. The Holocene accumulation rates, determined by the...
