Figure 2

Vertical distribution of meiofauna density (A, C, E, G) and meiofauna respiration, O2 micro-profiles and volume specific O2 consumption (B, D, F, H) of four selected sites. For figures on right side: blue line bars – volume specific O2 consumption; grey bars – meiofauna respiration with standard errors; red dots – O2 micro-profiles. Values of meiofauna respiration was multiplied by 5 for better representation. Values of the volume specific O2 consumption is a subset of data presented in Glud et al.26.
