The data set contains chemical and physical properties of the upper (L1) and lower (L2) sediment layer for each season (spring, summer, fall, winter):
- measurement depth in cm
- layer thickness (only for the upper layer L1) in cm
- mean and sd (standard deviation) of gravimetric water content (WC) in mass-%
- mean and sd of total organic carbon (TOC), total inorganic carbon (TIC), and total carbon (TC) content in mass-%
- mean and sd of sulfate concentration in mg per g dry weight (DW)
- mean and sd of ammonium concentration in µmol per g dry weight (DW)
- mean and sd of nitrate concentration in µmol per g dry weight (DW)
- mean and sd of nitrite concentration in µmol per g dry weight (DW)
- mean and sd of orthophosphate concentration in µmol per g dry weight (DW)
- electrical conductivity (EC) in mS cm-1
- pH.
