Zooplankton are major consumers of phytoplankton primary production in marine
ecosystems. As such, they represent a critical link for energy and matter transfer between …

The biological pump transports organic matter, created by phytoplankton productivity in the
well-lit surface ocean, to the ocean's dark interior, where it is consumed by animals and …

The ocean holds vast quantities of carbon that it continually exchanges with the atmosphere
through the air-sea interface. Because of its enormous size and relatively rapid exchange of …

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 ocean's ability to sequester carbon away from the atmosphere exerts an important
control on global climate. The biological pump drives carbon storage in the deep ocean and …

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 …

A planetary-scale understanding of the ocean ecosystem, particularly in light of climate
change, is crucial. Here, we review the work of Tara Oceans, an international …

The transfer of organic carbon from the upper to the deep ocean by particulate export flux is
the starting point for the long-term storage of photosynthetically fixed carbon. This 'biological …

The potential for Blue Carbon ecosystems to combat climate change and provide co-benefits
was discussed in the recent and influential Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change …

Zooplankton are the primary energy pathway from phytoplankton to fish. Yet, there is limited
understanding about how climate change will modify zooplankton communities and the …
