Plankton networks driving carbon export in the oligotrophic ocean
Submitted by susan on Thu, 2016-04-28 15:43
The biological carbon pump is the process by which CO2 is transformed to organic carbon via photosynthesis, exported through sinking particles, and finally sequestered in the deep ocean. While the intensity of the pump correlates with plankton community composition, the underlying ecosystem structure driving the process remains largely uncharacterized.
