The cycling of biologically produced calcium carbonate (CaCO3) in the ocean is a
fundamental component of the global carbon cycle. Here, we present experimental …

Thriving in both epipelagic and mesopelagic layers, Rhizaria are biomineralizing protists,
mixotrophs or flux-feeders, often reaching gigantic sizes. In situ imaging showed their …

The biological carbon pump transports photosynthetically fixed carbon from surface waters
to depths. It removes carbon from the atmosphere and sequesters it in the deep ocean …

Zooplankton plays a major role in ocean food webs and biogeochemical cycles, and
provides major ecosystem services as a main driver of the biological carbon pump and in …

Oceanic particulate organic carbon (POC) is a small but dynamic component of the global
carbon cycle. Biogeochemical models historically focused on reproducing the sinking flux of …

Reduction of anthropogenic CO2 emissions alone will not sufficiently restrict global warming
and enable the 1.5° C goal of the Paris agreement to be met. To effectively counteract …

We used extensive ecological and biogeochemical measurements obtained from quasi-
Lagrangian experiments during two California Current Ecosystem Long-Term Ecosystem …

Carbon dioxide is increasing in the atmosphere promoting the faster environmental change
of the Earth's recent history. Several marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR) technologies …

Vertical variations in physical and chemical conditions drive changes in marine zooplankton
community composition. In turn, zooplankton communities play a critical role in regulating …

Filter-feeding gelatinous macrozooplankton (FFGM), namely salps, pyrosomes and doliolids,
are increasingly recognized as an essential component of the marine ecosystem. Unlike …
