The production rates of DOC and POC by phytoplankton during the FRUELA 95 cruise were estimated by means of time-course experiments of 14C-bicarbonate incorporation. A three-compartment carbon exchange model was used to avoid the artifacts that may appear in end-point experiments due to heterotrophi...
