    Abstract
    The benthic ecosystem comprising coral reefs, seaweed, and seagrass beds contributes to organic matter mineralisation, food for many invertebrates and fishes, and plays a significant role in regulating the various biogeochemical processes of the aquatic system. It forms a sink/or source of nitrogen. Marine benthic processes account for up to two-thirds of the total conversion of fixed nitrogen into dinitrogen. However, the role of benthic organisms involved in nitrogen cycling is not well studied. This chapter aims to understand the significance of benthic organisms in the nitrogen cycle by providing a systematic overview of the effect of benthic flora and fauna on the sediment nitrogen cycle.
