The biological pump transports organic matter, created by phytoplankton productivity in the
well-lit surface ocean, to the ocean's dark interior, where it is consumed by animals and …

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 …

The ocean's biological carbon pump transfers carbon from the surface ocean to the deep
ocean by several distinct pathways, including gravitational settling of organic particles …

We explore the representation of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) in
27 models from the CMIP6 multimodel ensemble. Comparison with RAPID and SAMBA …

SAR11 is a group of small, carbon-oxidizing bacteria that reach a global estimated
population size of 2.4× 1028 cells—approximately 25% of all plankton. They are found …

Marine dissolved organic carbon (DOC) exhibits a spectrum of reactivity, from very fast
turnover of the most bioavailable forms in the surface ocean to long-lived materials …

Containing as much carbon as the atmosphere, marine dissolved organic matter is one of
Earth's major carbon reservoirs. With invigoration of scientific inquiries into the global carbon …

The vertical separation of organic matter formation from respiration can lead to net carbon
sequestration within the ocean's interior, making the biological pump an important …

The marine dissolved organic carbon (DOC) pool is an important player in the functioning of
marine ecosystems. DOC is at the interface between the chemical and the biological worlds …

Photosynthesis in the surface ocean produces approximately 100 gigatonnes of organic
carbon per year, of which 5 to 15 per cent is exported to the deep ocean,. The rate at which …
