Abstract

âº Role of combined carbohydrates for DOC-POC partitioning assessed (Bay of Biscay). âº TEP comprised substantial carbon fraction of particulate carbohydrates. âº Molecular composition of polysaccharides revealed organic matter diagenesis. âº Uronic acids comprised 20-40% of total and dissolved combined carbohydrates.
