Pearson correlations coefficients calculated between water depth, biogenic sediment compounds (values for the 0–5 cm layer), and diffusive oxygen uptakes rates for stations along the bathymetric transect at the HAUSGARTEN site (C Org, organic carbon content; Chl <i>a</i>, chlorophyll <i>a</i> content; Pheo, pheopigments content; Protein, protein content readily soluble per sediment volume; Lipid, phospholipids content; FDA, esterase activity per sediment volume; Depth, water depth; DOU, diffusive oxygen uptake).
