Fig. 4. Organic C in the different suspensions (SWDC, spontaneous water-dispersible colloids; TC, total colloids; WDC, water-dispersible colloids). DOC is dissolved organic C, POC < 1 µm is the organic C bound to particles smaller than one micrometer, and POC > 1 µm is the C bound to particles larger than one micrometer.
