tendency_of_mole_concentration_of_dissolved_organic_carbon_in_sea_water_due_to_excretion_by_calcareous_phytoplankton mol m-3 s-1 [MM3S] The change in the mole concentration of dissolved organic carbon in sea water caused by the excretion (exudation) of dissolved organic carbon by calcareous phytoplankton.
The phrase "tendency_of_X" means derivative of X with respect to time. "Mole concentration" means number of moles per unit volume, also called "molarity", and is used in the construction "mole_concentration_of_X_in_Y", where X is a material constituent of Y. A chemical species or biological group denoted by X may be described by a single term such as "nitrogen" or a phrase such as "nox_expressed_as_nitrogen". "Organic carbon" describes a family of chemical species and is the term used in standard names for all species belonging to the family that are represented within a given model. The list of individual species that are included in a quantity having a group chemical standard name can vary between models. Where possible, the data variable should be accompanied by a complete description of the species represented, for example, by using a comment attribute. The specification of a physical process by the phrase "due_to_" process means that the quantity named is a single term in a sum of terms which together compose the general quantity named by omitting the phrase.
Nanophytoplankton are phytoplankton in the size range 2 – 20 micrometers. Phytoplankton are algae that grow where there is sufficient light to support photosynthesis.

"Calcareous phytoplankton" are phytoplankton that produce calcite. Phytoplankton are algae that grow where there is sufficient light to support photosynthesis. Calcite is a mineral that is a polymorph of calcium carbonate. The chemical formula of calcite is CaCO3. Standard names also exist for aragonite, another polymorph of calcium carbonate.
