  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;The effects of nonconservative sources (inputs) and sinks (outputs) of carbon are indicated by the behavior of &amp;Delta;&lt;sup&gt;14&lt;/sup&gt;C and &amp;delta;&lt;sup&gt;13&lt;/sup&gt;C of the total dissolved inorganic carbon (&amp;Sigma;CO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;) in San Francisco Bay and Chesapeake Bay. Isotopic distributions and model calculations indicate that in North San Francisco Bay the net CO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;&amp;nbsp;flux to the atmosphere and carbon utilization in the water column are balanced by benthic production. Municipal waste appears to be a dominant source in South San Francisco Bav. In Chesapeake Bay, atmospheric exchange has increased the &amp;Delta;&lt;sup&gt;14&lt;/sup&gt;C and &amp;delta;&lt;sup&gt;13&lt;/sup&gt;C in the surface water. Decomposition of organic matter in the water column is indicated to be the dominant source of excess &amp;Sigma;CO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;&amp;nbsp;in the deep water.&lt;/p&gt;
