Primes¶
- Asymmetric Flux
- In ecology it is pollutant accumulation in apex predators via food webs that bioaccumulate upward, and ocean CO2 accumulation whose exchange asymmetry favours absorption over release on the relevant timescales.
This sourceQuantifies net ocean uptake of CO2, where air–sea exchange favors absorption over release on the relevant timescales, driving accumulation of dissolved inorganic carbon.
Supported in partVerified against the publisher's abstract
The abstract reports a net global ocean anthropogenic CO2 sink of 118 ± 19 Pg C (~48% of emissions), backing the ocean-uptake half of the sentence; it says nothing about pollutant bioaccumulation in apex predators.
“Using inorganic carbon measurements from an international survey effort in the 1990s and a tracer-based separation technique, we estimate a global oceanic anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) sink for the period from 1800 to 1994 of 118 ± 19 petagrams of carbon.”

Domain-specific¶
- Downwelling
- Repeat hydrographic surveys (the global GO-SHIP/GLODAP effort) measure this interior carbon accumulation directly, and attribute much of it to mode-water subduction

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 2 of 2 citations: 2 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
