The “biological pump” is the process by which photosynthetically-produced organic matter in
the ocean descends from the surface layer to depth by a combination of sinking particles …

Diatoms are a major component of phytoplankton community. They tend to dominate under
natural high-nutrient concentrations, as well as during artificial Fe fertilisation experiments …

Stratified oceanic systems are characterized by the presence of a so‐called Deep
Chlorophyll a Maximum (DCM) not detectable by ocean color satellites. A DCM can either …

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 …

Abstract Transparent Exopolymer Particles (TEP) have received considerable attention
since they were first described in the ocean more than 20 years ago. This is because of their …

Comparison of eight iron experiments shows that maximum Chl a, the maximum DIC
removal, and the overall DIC/Fe efficiency all scale inversely with depth of the wind mixed …

Pelagic food webs drive a flux of> 10 x 1012 kg C yr− 1 that exits surface waters, mostly via
sinking particles through the ocean's" biological pump." Much of this particle flux is …

This review provides an assessment of sediment trap accuracy issues by gathering data to
address trap hydrodynamics, the problem of zooplankton" swimmers," and the solubilization …

We used a new combination of sampling techniques involving in situ imaging of particles in
the water column and the collection of particle flux in viscous polyacrylamide gels to …

This review examines the links between pelagic ecology and ocean biogeochemistry with
an emphasis on the role of the Southern Ocean in global cycling of carbon and silica. The …
