The strong control that the emissions of carbon dioxide (CO 2) have over Earth's climate
identifies the need for accurate quantification of the emitted CO 2 and its redistribution within …

The biological pumping of carbon in the ocean and its effects on ocean carbon
sequestration are being studied by researchers from several disciplines. These studies …

A persistent microbial seed bank is postulated to sustain the marine biosphere, and recent
findings show that prokaryotic taxa present in the ocean's surface dominate prokaryotic …

Gravity-driven sinking of “marine snow” sequesters carbon in the ocean, constituting a key
biological pump that regulates Earth's climate. A mechanistic understanding of this …

Abstract The Antarctic Marginal Ice Zone (MIZ) accounts for 15% of the Southern Ocean's
primary production (PP), but limited data has hindered understanding of its variability and …

Subtropical oceans contribute significantly to global primary production, but the fate of the
picophytoplankton that dominate in these low-nutrient regions is poorly understood. Working …

Iron is an essential nutrient for all microorganisms of the marine environment. Iron limitation
of primary production has been well documented across a significant portion of the global …

Long‐term carbon sequestration by the ocean's recalcitrant dissolved organic carbon
(RDOC) pool regulates global climate. Algae and bacteria interactively underpin RDOC …

The biological carbon pump (BCP) is the mechanism by which the ocean transports organic
matter below the mixed layer, exporting or sequestering it for years to millennia. Physical …

With global climate warming and ocean acidification, mineral amendments in coastal areas
have emerged as a promising strategy to bolster carbon sinks and alkalinity. However, most …
