This dataset contains sediment oxygen consumption rates of marine surface sediments determined through a resuspension assay. The resuspension assay is based on the BOD method and conducted on pairs of samples, one an undisturbed sediment core to measure undisturbed sediment oxygen consumption, and the other a resuspension treatment to measure sediment oxygen consumption after disturbance by shaking.
