Both the water column and the pore water were investigated for nutrients and dissolved carbon distribution and gradients. The water column concentrations of most measured parameters, such as PO 4 3 - <svg:svg xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="29pt" height="17pt" class="svg-formula" dspmath="mathimg" md5hash="2702fab0ee38cf232058ddc22a79d590"><svg:image xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="essd-16-3419-2024-ie00004.svg" width="29pt" height="17pt" src="essd-16-3419-2024-ie00004.png"/> </svg:svg> , NH 4 + <svg:svg ...
