Table 1.
Information regarding the literature data compiled for the review part of this study. The methods are described using four categories: a. how the primary productivity values were measured; b. where (in situ or lab) and for how long the samples were incubated; c. how daily values were obtained (if given); and d. if the sediment/bottom substrate were undisturbed (“intact”) or disturbed (“slurry”). Data from the studies denoted with * are used in the calculations of the coastal and whole-system production in the Öre estuary and Bothnian Bay
