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 …

The deep-sea floor ecosystem: current status and prospects of anthropogenic change by the year 2025
The goal of this paper is to review current impacts of human activities on the deep-sea floor
ecosystem, and to predict anthropogenic changes to this ecosystem by the year 2025. The …

Microplastic pollution in deep-sea sediments
L Van Cauwenberghe, A Vanreusel, J Mees… - Environmental …, 2013 - Elsevier
Microplastics are small plastic particles (< 1 mm) originating from the degradation of larger
plastic debris. These microplastics have been accumulating in the marine environment for …

Seasonal rhythms of net primary production and particulate organic carbon flux to depth describe the efficiency of biological pump in the global ocean
We investigate the functioning of the ocean's biological pump by analyzing the vertical
transfer efficiency of particulate organic carbon (POC). Data evaluated include globally …

[图书][B] Methods for the study of deep-sea sediments, their functioning and biodiversity
R Danovaro - 2009 - taylorfrancis.com
For years scientists viewed the deep sea as calm, quiet, and undisturbed, with marine
species existing in an ecologically stable and uniform environment. Recent discoveries have …

Biological responses to seasonally varying fluxes of organic matter to the ocean floor: a review
AJ Gooday - Journal of Oceanography, 2002 - Springer
Deep-sea benthic ecosystems are sustained largely by organic matter settling from the
euphotic zone. These fluxes usually have a more or less well-defined seasonal component …
