8 Diffusion & Dispersion Diffusive or dispersive transport is one common form of feedback. Examples include: Diffusion from pore waters (x); Reversible reaction such as Air-water exchange; Vertical and horizontal mixing in lakes; Sediment mixing (e.g, bioturbation); Hypolimnetic exchange; Plume dispersion in air or water; Mixing of embayments (estuaries) with lakes or oceans. 8
