Abstract

Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and particulate organic carbon (POC) are major components of the marine carbon cycle, with complicated interactions that have been revealed through isotopic analyses over the past ~ 30 years. This article presents the general systematics of 14C analyses and interpretations, followed by a discussion of several canonical 14C-based discoveries that led to the current understanding of marine DOC and POC biogeochemistry.
