Table 1 The top 0–2 cm sediment layer was collected from distinct sediment cores from 59 stations during May–June 2019 from the north (latitude 64.65300) to south Baltic Sea (latitude 55.00903)

From: Microbial functional genes are driven by gradients in sediment stoichiometry, oxygen, and salinity across the Baltic benthic ecosystem

  1. The table shows the stations listed as clusters from north to south (stations 1 to 59, respectively), water depth (m), bottom water salinity, temperature (°C), and dissolved O2 (mg/L). Total nitrogen (%), total carbon (%), and isotope ratios (δ15N and δ13C ‰) were measured on sampled sediment
