Fig. 7.
Mean respiration rate (μmol O2 g(FW)−1 h−1, ±SE, n=5) of R. odorabile explants exposed to suspended clay and carbonate sediments over a 7 h period. Time 0 represents the baseline respiration rate of R. odorabile before the addition of sediments, while time 1, 2, 3, 4 and 7 represent the hours post sediment addition.
