  1. The table also includes average annual deposition and resuspension amounts of POC over the entire watershed and ratios between fluxes for POC and DOC
  2. Out, WC, Dep, Res, and NDep indicate outlet outflow, watershed contribution, deposition, resuspension, and net deposition (equal to deposition–resuspension), respectively
