Zooplankton fecal pellets, marine snow, phytodetritus and the ocean's biological pump
JT Turner - Progress in Oceanography, 2015 - Elsevier
The “biological pump” is the process by which photosynthetically-produced organic matter in
the ocean descends from the surface layer to depth by a combination of sinking particles …

Transparent exopolymer particles: Effects on carbon cycling in the ocean
Abstract Transparent Exopolymer Particles (TEP) have received considerable attention
since they were first described in the ocean more than 20 years ago. This is because of their …

Leads in Arctic pack ice enable early phytoplankton blooms below snow-covered sea ice
The Arctic icescape is rapidly transforming from a thicker multiyear ice cover to a thinner and
largely seasonal first-year ice cover with significant consequences for Arctic primary …

Environmental drivers of under-ice phytoplankton bloom dynamics in the Arctic Ocean
The decline of sea-ice thickness, area, and volume due to the transition from multi-year to
first-year sea ice has improved the under-ice light environment for pelagic Arctic …

Phaeocystis: A Global Enigma
WO Smith Jr, S Trimborn - Annual Review of Marine Science, 2024 - annualreviews.org
The genus Phaeocystis is globally distributed, with blooms commonly occurring on
continental shelves. This unusual phytoplankter has two major morphologies: solitary cells …

Export and mesopelagic particle flux during a North Atlantic spring diatom bloom
Spring diatom blooms are important for sequestering atmospheric CO2 below the
permanent thermocline in the form of particulate organic carbon (POC). We measured …

Zooplankton grazing on Phaeocystis: a quantitative review and future challenges
The worldwide colony-forming haptophyte phytoplankton Phaeocystis spp. are key
organisms in trophic and biogeochemical processes in the ocean. Many organisms from …

Carbon export in the seasonal sea ice zone north of Svalbard from winter to late summer
Phytoplankton blooms in the Arctic Ocean's seasonal sea ice zone are expected to start
earlier and occur further north with retreating and thinning sea ice cover. The current study is …
