Table 7. Standing stocks (mean and range) of dissolved and particulate organic carbon (DOC and POC) and dissolved and particulate organic nitrogen (DON and PON) in the pelagic of Dziani Dzaha during 2010 and 2011 surveys.
| 2010 | 2011 | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| DOC | mg/L | 77.5 (69.1–85.5) | 66.6 (56.4–70.9) |
| DON | mg/L | 4.80 (4.42–5.13) | 5.74 (5.42–6.06) |
| C:N (dissolved) | 18.9 | 15.5 | |
| POC | mg/L | 82.7 (50.7–126.4) | 58.2 (48.3–66.9) |
| PON | mg/L | 7.8 (4.0–11.6) | 5.8 (3.0–9.2) |
| C:N (particulate) | 12.4 | 11.7 | |
| POC autotrophs | mg/L | 39.3 (31.5–42.8) | 34.7 (30.2–39.1) |
| POC heterotrophs | mg/L | 4.5 (4.2–4.8) | 4.1 (3.8–4.4) |
POC estimation for autotrophs and heterotrophs is based on biovolume-to-carbon and cell-to-carbon estimates [56]. C:N are dimensionless, based on molar conversion.
