Comments "Essentially all of the marine planktonic net primary productivity (47.5 PgC/yr primary source) involved organisms with CCMs (Carbon dioxide concentrating mechanisms), and CCMs also occur in many of the organisms contributing to coastal benthic net primary productivity (c. 1PgC/yr primary source)."
