Influence of diatom diversity on the ocean biological carbon pump
Diatoms sustain the marine food web and contribute to the export of carbon from the surface
ocean to depth. They account for about 40% of marine primary productivity and particulate …

The biomass distribution on Earth
A census of the biomass on Earth is key for understanding the structure and dynamics of the
biosphere. However, a global, quantitative view of how the biomass of different taxa …

Major restructuring of marine plankton assemblages under global warming
Marine phytoplankton and zooplankton form the basis of the ocean's food-web, yet the
impacts of climate change on their biodiversity are poorly understood. Here, we use an …

Globally consistent quantitative observations of planktonic ecosystems
In this paper we review the technologies available to make globally quantitative
observations of particles in general—and plankton in particular—in the world oceans, and …

Evaluation of climate models
Climate models have continued to be developed and improved since the AR4, and many
models have been extended into Earth System models by including the representation of …

Estimating global biomass and biogeochemical cycling of marine fish with and without fishing
The biomass and biogeochemical roles of fish in the ocean are ecologically important but
poorly known. Here, we use a data-constrained marine ecosystem model to provide a first …
