TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the diagenetic conditions under which P regeneration may be decoupled from organic matter cycling and showed that this coupling may result in preferential phosphate burial or release relative to organic material in suboxic environments.

TL;DR: Benthic incubation chambers and sediment pore water profiles were used to study early diagenesis of organic matter in equatorial Pacific sediments as mentioned in this paper, and the results of both fits indicate that at least 70% of the organic matter degradation occurs within the upper 1-2 cm of sediment.

TL;DR: In situ incubation chamber measurements of benthic nutrient recycling rates were made on the Monterey Bay shelf at 100 m during various years and seasons as mentioned in this paper, showing that variability in nutrient fluxes correlate with variability in the amount of organic carbon oxidized on the sea floor.

TL;DR: In this article, benthic chamber measurements of the reactants and products involved with biogenic matter remineralization (oxygen, ammonium, nitrate, nitrite, phosphate, silicate, TCO2and alkalinity) were used to define solute exchange rates between the sediment and overlying water column of Port Phillip Bay, Australia.

TL;DR: Benthic chamber measurements of the reactants and products involved with biogenic matter diagenesis (oxygen, ammonium, nitrate, silicate, phosphate, TCOP, alkalinity) were used to define fluxes of these solutes into and out of the sediments off southern and central California as discussed by the authors.
