The outsized role of salps in carbon export in the subarctic Northeast Pacific Ocean

DK Steinberg, K Stamieszkin, AE Maas… - Global …, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Periodic blooms of salps (pelagic tunicates) can result in high export of organic matter,
leading to an “outsized” role in the ocean's biological carbon pump (BCP). However, due to …
