Abstract

Abstract

The bioturbators, which are ecosystem engineers, act on the interaction between sediments and water (the circulation, migration and storage of nutrients) through the reworking of sediments directly. As a result, they have an significant impact on benthic ecosystems engineering. The trace fossils provide evidence for studying the evolution of ecosystem engineers and assessing the impact of engineers on ecosystem engineering after the Cambrian explosion, as they provide records for activities of benthic organism. This paper studies benthic ecosystem engineers from three aspects-functional group, tiering and biological irrigation, by applying the modern biology concept of 'ecosystem engineering impact'. Statistics on the trace fossils of eight Cambrian sections in Henan Province show that the functional group types of the ecosystem engineers have changed from biodiffusive bioturbators to upward/downward conveyors, infaunal tier has gotten deeper, biological irrigation has became more common, and the ecosystem engineering impact has been increasing from Stage 3 to Drumian. But the type and structure of trace fossils have no changes, and the ecosystem engineering impact tends to be stable from Drumian to the Stage 10.This means that the behavioral strategy of benthic ecosystem engineer sevolve and innovate obviously during the time from the ending of the Cambrian Explosion to Drumian, by expanding ecospaces and creating new habitats for other macrobiotic and microbiotic organisms. In a word, these ecosystem engineers played an important role in the Cambrian marine ecosystem.
