P.380 left column top paragraph: "The combination of estimates of deep-ocean benthic respiration together with estimates of organic matter flux in the water column (primary source) yielded an estimated total respiration in the ocean interior of 1.2 × 10^14 mol O2/yr, of which benthic respiration represents 45%, in agreement with other independent estimates of deep-ocean respiration (refs 31, 32, 33)." |
