compensation depth — the depth at which oxygen production by photosynthesis is balanced by respiratory uptake (usually correlated with the depth at which light is 1% of its incident intensity). This is the lower limit of the photic zone below which there is no net… … Dictionary of ichthyology
Carbonate Compensation Depth — (CCD) is the depth in the oceans below which the rate of supply of calcium carbonate (calcite and aragonite) equals the rate of solvation, such that no calcium carbonate is preserved. Calcium carbonate is essentially insoluble in sea surface… … Wikipedia
