Table 5-3. Mean Enzyme Index of Carbon Quality (EICQ) values calculated as the ratio of normalized hydrolytic enzymes to
 normalized oxidative enzymes with standard errors. Ecell/Eox values calculated as the ratio of the mean normalized BGL
 to the mean normalized oxidative enzyme activities (PHE and PER) with standard errors. Values are unitless. B=benthic
 layer, 10=0 to -10 cm layer, 20=-10 to -20 cm layer. TS=ENP-TS, 3A=WCA-3A. Top row indicates the time period in
 weeks. X indicates a lack of standard error due to only one replicate included in the analysis.
