Deep-ocean dissolved organic matter reactivity along the Mediterranean Sea: does size matter?

Abstract Despite of the major role ascribed to marine dissolved organic matter (DOM) in the global carbon cycle, the reactivity of this pool in the dark ocean is still poorly understood. Present hypotheses, posed within the size-reactivity continuum (SRC) and the microbial carbon pump (MCP) conceptu...
