Understanding the dynamics of organic matter (OM) and the roles in global and local carbon
cycles is challenging to the fields of environmental sciences and biogeochemistry. The …

The pelagic realm of the dark ocean represents a key site for remineralization of organic
matter and long‐term carbon storage and burial in the biosphere. It contains the largest pool …

A nonlinear inverse method is applied to nutrient data upon approximately 20 neutral
surfaces in each of the South Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific basins, between 400 and 4000 m …

The size distribution of pelagic producers and the size and trophic position of consumers
determine the composition and magnitude of sinking fluxes from the surface communities in …

The fluxes of individual carbohydrates, amino acids, lipids and pigments have been
determined in net-plankton, particulate matter and sediments from three sites (9° N, 5° N …

Deep-ocean regions beyond the reach of sunlight contain an estimated 615 Pg of dissolved
organic matter (DOM), much of which persists for thousands of years. It is thought that …

The purpose of this book is to give an introduction to the most important aspects of
suspended matter in the aquatic environment: its origin and composition, the concentration …

As organic matter produced in the euphotic zone of the ocean sinks through the
mesopelagic zone, its composition changes from one that is easily characterized by …

Hydrocarbons, including alkanes, alkenes, hopane triterpenes and polycyclic aromatic
hydrocarbons (PAHs), plus sterols, n-alcohols and a number of higher plant triterpenoids …

The concentration and the major phase composition (particulate organic matter, CaCO 3,
opal, lithogenic matter, and iron and manganese oxyhydroxides) of marine particles is …
