What Does SOD Stand For?
SOD stands for Sediment Oxygen Demand
Sediment Oxygen Demand (SOD) is a measure of the oxygen consumed by microbial processes in sediments. This parameter is crucial for understanding the biological activity and health of aquatic environments, as it reflects the decomposition of organic matter and nutrient cycling within sediments. SOD plays a significant role in assessing water quality, influencing the availability of oxygen for aquatic organisms, and evaluating the impact of pollution on sediment ecosystems.
