In the Rothman et al. [2003] model, the RDOC reservoir is assumed to have been at least 10 times the size of the inorganic (ocean DIC + atmospheric pCO ) reservoir. For a modern DIC + 2

pCO2 reservoir of 39,000 PgC, this mean 390,000 PgC of DOC – more than 500 times larger than modern).

(For a higher late Precambrian DIC reservoir, 6the minimum DOC reservoir becomes 1.6´10
