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 …

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 …

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 …

Understanding the nature of organic matter flux in the ocean remains a major goal of
oceanography because it impacts some of the most important processes in the ocean …

The transfer of organic carbon from the upper to the deep ocean by particulate export flux is
the starting point for the long-term storage of photosynthetically fixed carbon. This 'biological …

Biotic and abiotic surfaces in marine waters are rapidly colonized by microorganisms.
Surface colonization and subsequent biofilm formation and development provide numerous …

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 …

The biological carbon pump, which transports particulate organic carbon (POC) from the
surface to the deep ocean, plays an important role in regulating atmospheric carbon dioxide …

The ocean's biological pump transfers carbon from the surface euphotic zone into the deep
ocean, reducing the atmospheric CO2 concentration. Despite its climatic importance, there …

Hypoxia is a harmful result of anthropogenic climate change. With the expansion of global
low-oxygen zones (LOZs), many organisms have faced unprecedented challenges affecting …
