The potential for Blue Carbon ecosystems to combat climate change and provide co-benefits
was discussed in the recent and influential Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change …

The oceanic waters below a depth of 200 m represent, in terms of volume, the largest habitat
of the biosphere, harboring approximately 70% of the prokaryotic biomass in the oceanic …

The biological carbon pump (BCP) comprises wide-ranging processes that set carbon
supply, consumption, and storage in the oceans' interior. It is becoming increasingly evident …

The organic carbon produced in the ocean's surface by phytoplankton is either passed
through the food web or exported to the ocean interior as marine snow. The rate and …

Sedimentary ancient DNA (seda DNA) offers a novel retrospective approach to
reconstructing the history of marine ecosystems over geological timescales. Until now, the …

Marine particles are key to the cycling of major elements on Earth and play an important role
in the balance of nutrients in the ocean. Three main categories of marine particles link the …

Nitrogen (N 2) fixation by heterotrophic bacteria associated with sinking particles contributes
to marine N cycling, but a mechanistic understanding of its regulation and significance are …

Shelled pteropods and planktic foraminifers are calcifying zooplankton that contribute to the
biological carbon pump via the sinking of their calcareous shells. However, their importance …

The seasonal variation in concentration of transparent exopolymer particles (TEPs),
particulate organic carbon (POC) and particulate organic nitrogen (PON) were investigated …

Proteins in the open ocean represent a significant source of organic matter, and their profiles
reflect the metabolic activities of marine microorganisms. Here, by analyzing metaproteomic …
