What are the key processes and sub- processes involved? What is the value of productivity/respiration to regional coastal C budgets? Prod/resp provide understanding of processes mediating changes Prod/resp provide understanding of processes mediating changes E.g., Equatorial vs coastal upwelling: P/R balance results in much different air-sea C flux E.g., Equatorial vs coastal upwelling: P/R balance results in much different air-sea C flux Necessary to predict future changes to C budgets due to climate change/ocean acidification Necessary to predict future changes to C budgets due to climate change/ocean acidification We don’t understand respiration as well as we need to We don’t understand respiration as well as we need to Decoupling of productivity and respiration Decoupling of productivity and respiration Both horizontally and vertically Both horizontally and vertically E.g., Great Lakes-PP homogenous, Resp is heterogeneous E.g., Great Lakes-PP homogenous, Resp is heterogeneous Understanding respiration requires knowledge of the whole system, whereas PP is restricted to the photic zone Understanding respiration requires knowledge of the whole system, whereas PP is restricted to the photic zone Key aspect of coastal systems in terms of carbon balance is the episodic variability of the involved processes Key aspect of coastal systems in terms of carbon balance is the episodic variability of the involved processes

Can individual measurements be scaled up? Models can be used to scale up from short term/small spatial scales to larger scales Models can be used to scale up from short term/small spatial scales to larger scales Must also scale measurements across key boundaries: benthic/water column and offshore/coastal/estuarine Must also scale measurements across key boundaries: benthic/water column and offshore/coastal/estuarine

Model parameterization How well are the processes parameterized for models? How well are the processes parameterized for models? Currently just primary production, respiration, export production Currently just primary production, respiration, export production Models can be made to capture observations and, to some degree, their variability in space and time. But, because we lack fundamental mechanistic understandings, regional tuning is required to fit a particular system.

Getting some measure of carbon cycling right (e.g. surface pCO2, CHL) can be achieved with many different underlying "carbon cycles" in a system.
