Range	0.011 x 10^14 - 0.13 x 10^14 mol O2/year
Organism	Biosphere
Reference	Duursma EK, Boisson MPRM, Global oceanic and atmospheric oxygen stability considered in relation to the carbon-cycle and to different time scales. Oceanologica Acta (0399-1784) (Gauthier-Villars), 1994 , Vol. 17 , N. 2 , P. 117-141 link p.129 right column 2nd paragraph
Comments	P.129 right column 2nd paragraph: "Burial of organic matter in the oceans (Fig. 3 B and 14) causes a residual production of oxygen (which is not consumed) of 0.011-0.13 × 10^14 mol O2/yr. This amounts to 2.9-34 × 10^-6 % of the total (atmosphere +ocean) oxygen mass/yr."
