The invisible hand behind a vast carbon reservoir
Abstract
A key element of the carbon cycle is the microbial conversion of dissolved organic carbon into inedible forms. Can it also serve to sequester CO 2 ?

The microbial C pump sequesters C by producing recalcitrant dissolved organic C with a lifespan of >100 years and was regarded as the invisible hand behind a vast C reservoir.

Unless marine carbon storage could be effected in a recalcitrant form that sinks rapidly, CO2 should probably best be sequestered elsewhere if we are to have ecosystems in which the net ecosystem carbon budget is accumulative.
“Unless marine carbon storage could be effected in a recalcitrant form that sinks rapidly (Jiao et al., 2010;Stone, 2010;Jiao and Azam, 2011), this implies that CO 2 should probably best be sequestered elsewhere if we are to have ecosystems in which the net ecosystem carbon budget (Chapin et al., 2006;Smith et al., 2010b) is accumulative.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
