Short summary
Strong motions caused by surface waves can set the material at the bottom in motion. How strong the wave motions need to be depends on the bottom type, for example mud or sand. We estimated how often waves can lift particles from the bottom by comparing wave model results to sea floor samples in the laboratory. We included the effect of seasonal biological activity, which was found to be significant.
