Nonmetric multidimensional scaling analysis (Bray–Curtis dissimilarity) based on the uptake of 13C-labeled bicarbonate into different fatty acids in the sediment surface (0–3 cm) samples. Samples are shown with circles and triangles, while the different fatty acids are depicted with a star symbol. Samples from open incubations (6 and 24 h) are shown in red, while closed incubation samples (6 and 24 h) are colored in blue. 0, 50, and 100 denotes distance along the transect in cm.
