Fig. 2: Total concentration and relative abundance of monosaccharides in carbohydrates from POM fraction.

a) Total monosaccharide concentrations as ug per L of seawater at each station and depth, b) Relative abundance of monosaccharides grouped by station location in relation to continental slope. Data show neutral and amino monosaccharides. SRF = Surface water sample, BML = sample from bottom of the surface mixed layer.
