Bioerosion describes the breakdown of hard ocean substrates – and less often terrestrial substrates – by living organisms. Marine bioerosion can be caused by mollusks, polychaete worms, phoronids, sponges, crustaceans, echinoids, gastropods and fish; it can occur on coastlines, on coral reefs, and on ships; its mechanisms include biotic boring, drilling, rasping, and scraping. Overall, the species that cause this phenomena are highly diverse coming from several kingdoms of life. On dry land, bioerosion is typically performed by trees, pioneer plants, or plant-like organisms such as lichen. Terrestrial bioerosion is performed by either chemical or mechanical processes. In marine systems bioerosion occurs on nearly all coastlines, and all reef systems.
