The element carbon plays a central role in climate and life on Earth. It is capable of moving
among the geosphere, cryosphere, atmosphere, biosphere and hydrosphere. This flow of …

Western Atlantic bluefin tuna (ABT) undertake long-distance migrations from rich feeding
grounds in the North Atlantic to spawn in oligotrophic waters of the Gulf of Mexico (GoM) …

Ocean ecosystems play a critical role in the Earth's carbon cycle and the quantification of
their impacts for both present conditions and for predictions into the future remains one of …

Enhanced vertical carbon transport (gravitational sinking and subduction) at mesoscale
ocean fronts may explain the demonstrated imbalance of new production and sinking …

Gelatinous filter feeders (eg, salps, doliolids, and pyrosomes) have high filtration rates and
can feed at predator: prey size ratios exceeding 10,000: 1, yet are seldom included in …

Passive sinking of particulate organic matter (POM) is the main mechanism through which
the biological pump transports surface primary production to the ocean interior. However …

We used extensive ecological and biogeochemical measurements obtained from quasi-
Lagrangian experiments during two California Current Ecosystem Long-Term Ecosystem …

The complex interplay of biological and physical mechanisms comprising the ocean's
biological carbon pump has not been well characterized to date, due to the difficulty of …

The highly stratified, oligotrophic regions of the oceans are predominantly nitrogen limited in
the surface ocean and light limited at the deep chlorophyll maximum (DCM). Hence …

Predicting marine carbon sequestration in a changing climate requires mechanistic
understanding of the processes controlling sinking particle flux under different climatic …
