This paper reviews progress on understanding biological carbon sequestration in the ocean
with special reference to the microbial formation and transformation of recalcitrant dissolved …

To improve our understanding of the role of phytoplankton for marine ecosystems and global
biogeochemical cycles, information on the global distribution of major phytoplankton groups …

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 …

Marine phytoplankton and zooplankton form the basis of the ocean's food-web, yet the
impacts of climate change on their biodiversity are poorly understood. Here, we use an …

The export of organic carbon from the surface ocean by sinking particles is an important, yet
highly uncertain, component of the global carbon cycle. Here we introduce a mechanistic …

We present a model of diverse phytoplankton and zooplankton populations embedded in a
global ocean circulation model. Physiological and ecological traits of the organisms are …

The ocean's biological pump transfers carbon from the surface euphotic zone into the deep
ocean, reducing the atmospheric CO2 concentration. Despite its climatic importance, there …

We examine climate change impacts on net primary production (NPP) and export production
(sinking particulate flux; EP) with simulations from nine Earth system models (ESMs) …

A three-component model was developed which calculates the fractional contributions of
three phytoplankton size classes (micro-, nano-and picoplankton) to the overall chlorophyll …

The ocean plays a central role in modulating the Earth's carbon cycle. Monitoring how the
ocean carbon cycle is changing is fundamental to managing climate change. Satellite …
