The availability of the specific molecular forms of carbon needed by different organisms regulates species selection, morphogenic response, and production of biomass. This paper reviews the literature relevant to the extent and rate of carbon exchange between sediment and water and discusses the general implication of the role of carbon in regulating biological activity.
