Correction for Yi et al., Underestimated input of terrestrial dissolved organic carbon to the ocean

Key Points

• Input of terrestrial dissolved organic carbon to the ocean appears significantly underestimated, affecting global carbon cycling.
• New estimates indicate that this input is far greater than previously calculated, which may alter our understanding of carbon transport.
• The observational analysis incorporates recent data on terrestrial carbon contributions to marine systems, enhancing previous models.
• This highlights the need for refined carbon cycle models to better reflect ecological and environmental dynamics.
