P.380 left column bottom paragraph: "The consumption of past primary production, stored in the form of the very large (primary sources)(about 685 to 700 Gt C) oceanic DOC pool, potentially allows an uncoupling between primary production and respiration extending over millennia, the mean age of the ocean's DOC pool (ref 42), resulting in a lack of steady-state at shorter timescales." |
