| Total (TOC) and dissolved (DOC) organic carbon vertical profiles were analyzed from 11 stations located in various regions of the Mediterranean Sea, together with the distribution of other physical, chemical and biological parameters. TOC showed the highest concentrations (68-83 mu M) above the pycnocline, followed by a marked decrease to values of 45-48 mu M at 100-200 m. Below 200 m, values of 40-45 mu M were observed. The excess TOC and DOC occurring at each station was calculated by subtracting 48 mu M from the observed concentrations. The stock of the excess TOC and DOC increased eastward; while surface DOC mineralization rates decreased from 1.5 mu M d(-1) to 0.26 mu M d(-1) eastward. The integrated average of the biological parameters in the... |
