Marine dissolved organic matter (DOM) contains more carbon than the combined stocks of
Earth's biota. Organisms in the ocean continuously release a myriad of molecules that …

The seabed plays a key role in the marine carbon cycle as a) the terminal location of aerobic
oxidation of organic matter, b) the greatest anaerobic bioreactor, and c) the greatest …

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 …

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 …

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) in the oceans is one of the largest pools of reduced carbon
on Earth, comparable in size to the atmospheric CO2 reservoir. A vast number of …

The SAR11 clade consists of very small, heterotrophic marine α-proteobacteria that are
found throughout the oceans, where they account for about 25% of all microbial cells …

The ocean's biological carbon pump is a key component of the global carbon cycle. Only a
small fraction of the carbon fixed by primary production is exported to the deep ocean, yet …

A major term in the global carbon cycle is the ocean's biological carbon pump which is
dominated by sinking of small organic particles from the surface ocean to its interior. Several …

Despite their moderately sized surface area, continental marginal seas play a significant role
in the biogeochemical cycles of carbon, as they receive huge amounts of upwelled and …
