- •
A pristine system showed naturally occurring fluctuations over a 2 year-period.
- •
Net autotrophy of the system was observed with low temperature only.
- •
In summer diatom proliferation seemed to increase labile organic matter.
- •
Its availability stimulated prokaryotic activity enhancing C transfer to meiofauna.
- •
In winter, C was mainly sequestered within the benthic microbial loop.
