The calcite compensation depth determines where calcium carbonate dissolution equals supply in ocean sediments.
Multiple authoritative reference sources confirm that the calcite compensation depth refers to the ocean depth where the rate of calcium carbonate supply matches the rate of dissolution.
Judged against reference works: claims of this kind are settled by reference works, not journal abstracts.
