Summary of biogeochemical measurements performed at wood-influenced (0.5 m–“At wood”) and reference sediments away from the wood experiments (> 10 m distance–“Away wood”) in the Eastern Mediterranean after one year of submergence (2007; [14]) and 3 years (2009, this study).

For comparison, data from surrounding seafloor sediments were included. The table combines information on the in situ Total Oxygen Uptake (TOU), in situ and ex situ Dissolved Oxygen Uptake (DOU), Oxygen Penetration Depth (OPD), total sulphide flux as determined ex situ with microsensors and ex situ average Sulphate Reduction (SR) rates integrated over 0–10 cm. n.d. = not determined.
