        "samplingDescription": ["box corer for 0.03 square meters area sampled\nSediment temperature was measured by means of a thermometer in the first centimeter of the sediments; \nsalinity, conductivity, water temperature, dissolved oxygen and pH were measured in the water overlaying the sediments \nby means of a portable multi-parameter. \nRedox potential of the first centimeter of the sediments was measured by means of a portable probe \nwhich was previously immersed in Zobell solution (Zobell, 1946). \nSediment samples were collected from all stations by means of a modified manually-operated box-corer. \nSamples were collected from fishing boats specifically used at the lagoons. \nCylindrical sampling corers (internal sampling surface 15.90 square centimeters) were placed inside the box-corer \nand sub-samples of the sediment’s upper layer (0-2 cm) were collected from each of them. \nSamples were collected for the determination of the concentration of the Total Reduced Inorganic Sulfur (TRIS). \nTRIS is the sum of Acid Volatile Sulfides (AVS), i.e. hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and iron sulfide (FeS), \nand Chromium Reducible Sulfur (CRS), i.e. elemental sulfur (S0) and iron pyrite (FeS2). \nSamples of about 8 cubic centimeters were collected from the sediment's upper layer and were immediately placed \non 50 ml falcon tubes, with tapered bottom, containing 10 ml of zinc acetate solution 20% (w/v). \nThe samples were mixed in order to allow the total surface of the sediment to come in contact with the solution and \nwere subsequently stored at -20 oC, until further processing in the Marine Ecology Laboratory of the University of Crete, \nin accordance with the hot distillation method (Kallmeyer et al., 2004). The final measurement of the TRIS values \nwas based on the method described by Cline (1969). \nSimilarly, samples were also collected from cylindrical corers for the measurement of the Particulate Organic Carbon (POC), \norganic matter (measured by Loss On Ignition), chloroplast pigments concentrations (chlorophyll-a and phaeopigments) \nand for the sediment's granulometry (for the latter, the sampling depth was five centimeters in order for the results \nto be comparable with previously published data on the study area). \nAlso, three replicate water samples were collected by means of Niskin bottles (5 lt) which were subsequently used \nfor the measurement of chemical variables (concentration of POC, chloroplast pigments and nutrients (phosphate ion (PO43-), \nnitrate ion (NO3-), nitrite ion (NO2-), ammonium ion (NH4+) and silicon dioxide (SiO2)). \nThe aforementioned samples were processed at the Chemistry Lab of the IMBBC (HCMR), based on standard techniques \n(chloroplast pigments: Yentsch and Menzel, 1963; POC: Hedges and Stern, 1984; granulometry: Gray and Elliott, 2009; \norganic matter: Loh et al., 2008; nutrients: Grasshoff et al., 1983; Parsons et al., 1984; Strickland and Parsons, 1972)."]
