Abstract

Power produced by microbial POC degradation in Quaternary-age sediment at 10cm beneath the seafloor, at the layer of sediment deposited at the beginning of the Holocene (11,700 years ago), and the layer of sediment deposited at the beginning of the Pleistocene (2.59 million years ago). These data are part of a project that used bio-energetic modeling to quantify a number of subseafloor parameters on a 0.25°×0.25° resolution global grid. These data were published in Bradley et al. (2020).
