The page of "Resistant organic matter and carbon cycle" was written by Prof. Yohei Yamashita of Faculty of Environmental Earth Science.
Considering the main location of non-living organic matter on Earth, in terrestrial ecosystems soil organic matter is mentioned. You probably know that the dead bodies and excretions of plants, microorganisms, and animals make up soil organic matter. On the other hand, one of the locations of non-living organisms in the ocean is in marine sediments, and the other is in seawater. Abiotic organic matter in seawater is mostly present in the dissolved fraction (in the open ocean, more than 90% of abiotic matter in seawater is dissolved organic matter). It is not well known that the total amount of dissolved organic matter in the ocean is more than 200 times the amount of marine biomass, and most of the organic matter present in the ocean is abiotic organic matter.

In "Dynamics of Marine Life Systems 3 Chain of Marine Organisms" (Kazuhiro Kogure [ed.] Tokai University Press), he describes the hypothesis of the generation of persistent organic matter in the ocean. I (Oki) will interpret it in my own way, add some interpretations, and explain. It is thought that there are several routes for generation of persistent organic matter. Just be aware that this is an active area of research, so what I say here may not necessarily be universally accepted.
