Description :
The importance of aggregation processes in the benthic boundary layer (BBL) with regards to settling velocities and flux of organic carbon was investigated at 4 stations on a coastal-depositional area transect in the southwest Baltic Sea, between 1996 and 1998. A second focus point of the study is the comparison of vertical and horizontal transport of both aggregated and suspended material.
