Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) was determined in pore water extracted from pelagic and hemipelagic sediments recovered during Leg 113. DOC concentration varied between 1.82 and 13.6 mg C/L which is one to two orders of magnitude less than previously reported for hemipelagic sediments. It is argued t...
