Short summary
Marine DOM is known to exhibit stoichiometry depleted in N and P compared with POM, suggesting variable production and remineralization stoichiometry for C, N, and P within marine DOM cycling. We utilize marine DOM observations and an inverse tracer modeling framework to optimize DOM cycling parameters for the BEC biogeochemistry ocean model of the CESM, finding a variable stoichiometry with faster turnover of P > N > C superior to the commonly assumed Redfield stoichiometry for marine DOM.
