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 …

Tracing trace elements from sediment input to volcanic output at subduction zones
T Plank, CH Langmuir - Nature, 1993 - nature.com
AT ocean trenches, sea-floor sediments may either be scraped off the subducting plate, or
accompany it into the mantle. Some of the subducted sediment may then be recycled to the …

Role of sinking in diatom life-history cycles: ecological, evolutionary and geological significance
VS Smetacek - Marine biology, 1985 - Springer
Rapid mass sinking of cells following diatom blooms, observed in lakes and the sea, is
argued here to represent the transition from a growing to a resting stage in the life histories …
