Marine dissolved organic carbon (DOC), the largest pool of reduced carbon in the oceans, plays an important role in the global carbon cycle and contributes to the regulation of atmospheric oxygen and carbon dioxide abundances. Despite its importance in global biogeochemical cycles, the long-term history of the marine DOC reservoir is poorly constrained. Nonetheless, significant changes to the size of the oceanic DOC reservoir through Earth’s history have been commonly invoked to explain changes to ocean chemistry, carbon cycling, and marine ecology. Here, we present a revised view of the evolution of marine DOC concentrations using a mechanistic carbon cycle model that can reproduce DOC concentrations in both oxic and anoxic modern environments. We use this model to demonstrate that the overall size of the marine DOC reservoir has likely undergone very little variation through Earth’s history, despite major changes in the redox state of the ocean–atmosphere system and the nature and efficiency of the biological carbon pump. A relatively static marine DOC reservoir across Earth’s history renders it unlikely that major changes in marine DOC concentrations have been responsible for driving massive repartitioning of surface carbon or the large carbon isotope excursions observed in Earth’s stratigraphic record and casts doubt on previously hypothesized links between marine DOC levels and the emergence and radiation of early animals.

地球历史上一个基本不变的海洋溶解有机碳库[进化]

海洋溶解有机碳 (DOC) 是海洋中最大的还原碳库,在全球碳循环中发挥着重要作用,并有助于调节大气中的氧气和二氧化碳丰度。尽管它在全球生物地球化学循环中很重要,但海洋 DOC 储层的长期历史受到的限制很少。尽管如此,地球历史上海洋 DOC 水库规模的显着变化通常被用来解释海洋化学、碳循环和海洋生态的变化。在这里,我们使用机械碳循环模型提出了海洋 DOC 浓度演变的修订视图,该模型可以在有氧和缺氧的现代环境中重现 DOC 浓度。我们使用这个模型来证明,尽管海洋-大气系统的氧化还原状态以及生物碳泵的性质和效率发生了重大变化,但海洋 DOC 水库的整体大小在地球历史上可能几乎没有变化。地球历史上相对静止的海洋 DOC 水库使得海洋 DOC 浓度的重大变化不太可能导致地表碳的大规模重新分配或地球地层记录中观察到的大量碳同位素偏移,并对先前假设的海洋 DOC 之间的联系提出了质疑水平以及早期动物的出现和辐射。尽管海洋-大气系统的氧化还原状态以及生物碳泵的性质和效率发生了重大变化。地球历史上相对静止的海洋 DOC 水库使得海洋 DOC 浓度的重大变化不太可能导致地表碳的大规模重新分配或地球地层记录中观察到的大量碳同位素偏移,并对先前假设的海洋 DOC 之间的联系提出了质疑水平以及早期动物的出现和辐射。尽管海洋-大气系统的氧化还原状态以及生物碳泵的性质和效率发生了重大变化。地球历史上相对静止的海洋 DOC 水库使得海洋 DOC 浓度的重大变化不太可能导致地表碳的大规模重新分配或地球地层记录中观察到的大量碳同位素偏移,并对先前假设的海洋 DOC 之间的联系提出了质疑水平以及早期动物的出现和辐射。
