Total oxygen uptake rates were assessed by conducting sediment core incubations. After MUC retrieval and sediment core preparation on deck, three cores were taken to a dark,...

Chlorophyll pigments:Subsamples of the top first cm of sediment were obtained using cut-off plastic syringes. Samples for chlorophyll pigment analyses were stored dark and...

For the determination of prokaryotic cell numbers, 1 cm³ sediment was fixed with sterile filtered formalin/seawater at a final concentration of 2% and stored at 4°C until...

We assessed diffusive oxygen uptake rates by measuring ex situ porewater oxygen microprofiles. Sediment cores were placed in a water bath and a stirring device was implemented...
