P.2 left column bottom paragraph: "The drilling site was situated in the central part of the Landsort Deep, which is the deepest sub-basin (437 m water depth) in the Baltic Sea Basin. It contains a thick and continuous record of the last ~14,000 years, including the transition from Holocene, organic-rich clay to glacial, low-organic clay (primary source). It is characterized by high sedimentation rates (100–500 cm/kyr), high concentrations of total organic carbon (TOC), and extremely high microbial abundance (up to 10^10 cells/cm^3) in the organic-rich Holocene deposits (primary source)." |
