Temperature is a master parameter in the marine carbon cycle, exerting a critical control on
the rate of biological transformation of a variety of solid and dissolved reactants and …

The Earth's oceans are one of the largest sinks in the Earth system for anthropogenic CO 2
emissions, acting as a negative feedback on climate change. Earth system models project …

Under future warming Earth System Models (ESMs) project a decrease in the magnitude of
downward particulate organic carbon (POC) export, suggesting the potential for carbon …

Sensitivities of the oceanic biological pump within the GISS (Goddard Institute for Space
Studies) climate modeling system are explored here. Results are presented from twin control …

Previsions of a warmer ocean as a consequence of climatic change point to a 2–6° C
temperature rise during this century in surface oceanic waters. Heterotrophic bacteria …

The ocean's large, microbially mediated reservoirs of carbon are intimately connected with
atmospheric CO2 and climate, yet quantifying the feedbacks between them remains an …

Microbial respiration of particulate organic carbon (POC) is one of the key processes
controlling the magnitude of POC export from the surface ocean and its storage on long …

MEDUSA-1.0 (Model of Ecosystem Dynamics, nutrient Utilisation, Sequestration and
Acidification) was developed as an" intermediate complexity" plankton ecosystem model to …

Marine heterotrophic Bacteria (or referred to as bacteria) play an important role in the ocean
carbon cycle by utilizing, respiring, and remineralizing organic matter exported from the …

The consideration of marine biogeochemistry is essential for simulating the carbon cycle in
an Earth system model. Here we present the implementation and evaluation of a marine …
