Description:
Our recent finding that dilution limits dissolved organic carbon (DOC) utilization in the deep ocean has been criticized based on the common misconception that lability equates to rapid and complete utilization. Even when considering the redefinition of recalcitrant DOC recently proposed by Jiao et al., the dilution hypothesis best explains our experimental observations.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Arrieta, Jesus M -- Mayol, Eva -- Hansman, Roberta L -- Herndl, Gerhard J -- Dittmar, Thorsten -- Duarte, Carlos M -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2015 Dec 18;350(6267):1483. doi: 10.1126/science.aac7249.
