metabolically reactive organic matter near burrows. Although only ~1% of the exposed bottom is covered by large-diameter burrows, each one can influence a surrounding radius of ~ 3 cm, affecting 10-34% of the bottom. Mar. Sci. Res.

The major groups responsible for reef breakdown (grazers, etchers, and borers), their modes of bioerosion, and observed variability in bioerosion rates are reviewed worldwide. The role of bioerosion in the determination of reef morphology is discussed. Invert. Div., Australian Mus., 6-8 College St., Sydney, NSW 2000, Australia. (gsb) 86:7015 Lambert, G. and T.D.
