The authors of this study demonstrate that by simultaneously observing changes in the stable isotopic ration of DIC, it is possible to quantify the contribution of physical and biological processes to this summer-fall drawdown. They find that biology is the dominant contrbutor to the drawdown, but that physical processes also play an important role.Bulletin of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, La Jolla, California ;v. 30.SeawaterAnalysisCarbonAnalysisCarbon cycle (Biogeochemistry)Electronic books.SeawaterAnalysis.CarbonAnalysis.Carbon cycle (Biogeochemistry)551.46/462Gruber Nicolas1968-1046591Keeling Charles D.1928-1046592MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910454776703321Seasonal carbon cycling in the Sargasso Sea near Bermuda2473604UNINA
