Abstract
The five modern systems described in this study do not support the hypothesis that there is an increase in bioturbation from the brackish-water reaches of channels into freshwater reaches. In fact, freshwater channels, including those in the tidal backwater zone, are characterized by very low trace-fossil diversities (1 to 2 forms) as well as low and sporadically distributed bioturbation intensities (BI 0-1).
