= 0.69 and 0.46). Furthermore, leveraging these optimized models, we generated a global marine DOC dataset and found that diatoms explained up to 63.8% of the variance in surface DOC. We further showed that algal recalcitrant DOC production was significantly higher during growth than decline seasons globally. These findings offer insights into how bloom duration and climate-driven shifts in phytoplankton composition reshape oceanic DOC dynamics.
