The soil surface beneath mangroves is never flat, especially in the back zone. The presence of burrowing fauna such as mud lobsters (Thalassina anomala) can modify the soil surface through bioturbation processes, resulting in the formation of mounds or protrusions, as well as depressions. These modifications can influence water retention and flow. Consequently, they are also suspected to affect…
