Abstract The Barents Sea is presently undergoing rapid warming and the sea-ice edge and
the productive zones are retreating northward at accelerating rates. Planktonic foraminifers …

Calcification and biomass production by planktonic marine organisms influences the global
carbon cycle and fuels marine ecosystems. The major calcifying plankton group …

Coccolithophores are the most abundant calcifying organisms in modern oceans and are
important primary producers in many marine ecosystems. Their ability to generate a cellular …

Shelled pteropods and planktic foraminifers are calcifying zooplankton that contribute to the
biological carbon pump via the sinking of their calcareous shells. However, their importance …

Dissolved calcium plays a critical role in coastal environments, influencing marine
ecosystems and fisheries. This review comprehensively examines current research on …

Marine biogenic calcium carbonate (CaCO3) cycles play a key role in ecosystems and in
regulating the ocean's ability to absorb atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2). However, the …

Coccolithophores fix organic carbon and produce calcite plates (coccoliths) that ballast
organic matter and facilitate carbon export. Photosynthesis consumes carbon dioxide, while …

Identifying mechanisms driving the substantial dissolution of biogenic CaCO3 (60 to 80%) in
surface and mesopelagic waters of the global ocean is critical for constraining the surface …

The rapid expansion of reservoirs, coupled with increasing eutrophication, has profoundly
influenced regional and global carbon cycles. To precisely assess the carbon sink potential …

Atmospheric dust deposition can modulate the earth's climate and atmospheric CO2 through
fertilising the ocean (nutrient source) and by accelerating the biological carbon pump …
