This study reports 8 new dark carbon fixation rates (DCF) which were compiled into one data set in combination with 27 DCF rates in literature for coastal sediments. Geografical location and DCF rates are listed for the 8 new sites. DCF rates were compared with sediment charactsitics to elucidate possible correlations as described in the paper. Hence physico-chemical characteristics (porosity, organic content, oxygen uptake) of sediments are listed for all observations included in the study.
