(a) Depth profile of DOC concentrations at BATS. Seawater samples were collected from 50, 100, 300, 750, and 1500 m and were divided into two treatments: unamended (control) and amended with ~20 µmol L−1 of C-18 DOC isolated from 1200 m (as in Fig. 2). (b) Removal of DOC in the control and amended groups after 180 days of dark incubation at room temperature (22–24 °C). Data are reported as the average value and standard deviation (n = 3).
