For the experiment with freshly spiked sediment, sediment samples were collected after spiking (i.e., at exposure initiation; T0, fresh), and after exposure termination (Tend, fresh). For experiments with aged sediment, sediment samples were collected after aging (at exposure initiation; T0, aged) and at exposure termination (Tend, aged). Concentrations are presented as mean ± SD; µg 65Cu g−1 dw sediment. n = 3 for all samples, except for T0, aged, where n = 2.
