Net Additions of Recalcitrant Dissolved Organic Carbon in the Deep Atlantic Ocean
12 pages, 5 figures, 2 tables Most dissolved organic carbon (DOC) sequestered in the deep ocean has residence times of decades to thousands of years, with clear implications for climate regulation, though some net removal is typically observed with increasing water mass age. Here, a high‐quality‐hig...
