Quantifying the ocean's biological pump and its carbon cycle impacts on global scales
The biological pump transports organic matter, created by phytoplankton productivity in the
well-lit surface ocean, to the ocean's dark interior, where it is consumed by animals and …

Multi-faceted particle pumps drive carbon sequestration in the ocean
The ocean's ability to sequester carbon away from the atmosphere exerts an important
control on global climate. The biological pump drives carbon storage in the deep ocean and …

Quantifying the carbon export and sequestration pathways of the ocean's biological carbon pump
The ocean's biological carbon pump transfers carbon from the surface ocean to the deep
ocean by several distinct pathways, including gravitational settling of organic particles …

Plankton networks driving carbon export in the oligotrophic ocean
The biological carbon pump is the process by which CO2 is transformed to organic carbon
via photosynthesis, exported through sinking particles, and finally sequestered in the deep …

Zooplankton fecal pellets, marine snow, phytodetritus and the ocean's biological pump
JT Turner - Progress in Oceanography, 2015 - Elsevier
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 …

Zooplankton and the ocean carbon cycle
Marine zooplankton comprise a phylogenetically and functionally diverse assemblage of
protistan and metazoan consumers that occupy multiple trophic levels in pelagic food webs …

Eddy-driven subduction exports particulate organic carbon from the spring bloom
The export of particulate organic carbon (POC) from the surface ocean to depth is
traditionally ascribed to sinking. Here, we show that a dynamic eddying flow field subducts …

The importance of Antarctic krill in biogeochemical cycles
Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) are swarming, oceanic crustaceans, up to two inches
long, and best known as prey for whales and penguins–but they have another important …

Limited carbon cycling due to high-pressure effects on the deep-sea microbiome
Deep-sea microbial communities are exposed to high-pressure conditions, which has a
variable impact on prokaryotes depending on whether they are piezophilic (that is, pressure …
