Variability in photosynthetic production of dissolved and particulate organic carbon in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre

The partitioning of photosynthetically-derived organic carbon between particulate and dissolved phases has important implications for marine carbon cycling. In this study we utilized 14C-bicarbonate assimilation to quantify rates of photosynthetic production of both particulate and dissolved organic...
