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 …

A basic problem in marine biogeochemistry is understanding material and elemental
distributions and fluxes in the oceans, and a key part of this problem is understanding the …

The export of organic carbon from the surface ocean by sinking particles is an important, yet
highly uncertain, component of the global carbon cycle. Here we introduce a mechanistic …

The updated and much expanded 3e of the Handbook of Radioactivity Analysis is an
authoritative reference providing the principles, practical techniques, and procedures for the …

The ocean's biological carbon pump is a key component of the global carbon cycle. Only a
small fraction of the carbon fixed by primary production is exported to the deep ocean, yet …

A major term in the global carbon cycle is the ocean's biological carbon pump which is
dominated by sinking of small organic particles from the surface ocean to its interior. Several …

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 …

The sinking of organic particles produced in the upper sunlit layers of the ocean forms an
important limb of the oceanic biological pump, which impacts the sequestration of carbon …

The “biological carbon pump” causes carbon sequestration in deep waters by downward
transfer of organic matter, mostly as particles. This mechanism depends to a great extent on …
