Short summary
Particulate organic carbon plays a vital role in the ocean's carbon cycle, yet its transformation involves complex processes that are not fully understood. This study examines the vertical distribution of stable carbon isotopes in the Tropical Northwestern Pacific, identifying three distinct biogeochemical layers of POC transformation, and contributes to a deeper understanding of the ocean's carbon cycle.
