One-quarter of photosynthesis-derived carbon on Earth rapidly cycles through a set of short-
lived seawater metabolites that are generated from the activities of marine phytoplankton …

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 zooplankton comprise a phylogenetically and functionally diverse assemblage of
protistan and metazoan consumers that occupy multiple trophic levels in pelagic food webs …

Microbes of the surface ocean release, consume, and exchange labile metabolites at time
scales of minutes to days. The details of this important step in the global carbon cycle remain …

By altering the number, size, and density of particles in the ocean, the activities of different
phytoplankton, zooplankton, and microbial species control the formation, degradation …

The dazzling variation in plant chemistry is a primary mediator of trophic interactions,
including herbivory, predation, parasitism, and disease. At the same time, such interactions …

We analyzed size‐specific dry mass, sinking velocity, and apparent diffusivity in field‐
sampled marine snow, laboratory‐made aggregates formed by diatoms or …

Using 14 C-labeled phytoplankton as tracer, we investigated 2 mechanisms of immediate
dissolved organic carbon (DOC) release during grazing activity of Calanus spp.‹ sloppy …

摘要海洋中存在一个巨大的惰性溶解有机碳(RDOC) 库, 可与大气CO2 碳量相媲美.
两个碳库之间的交换势必影响气候变化. RDOC 可在海洋中保存数千年, 构成了海洋储碳的重要 …

Bacteria and metazoan zooplankton (mainly crustaceans) are often viewed as 2 separate
functional groups in the pelagic food webs indirectly linked via nutrient cycling and trophic …
