Princeton University and Xiamen University researchers report that in tropical and subtropical oligotrophic waters, ocean ...
Solid organic carbon (e.g., soil particles, phytoplankton cells) is buried in coastal sediments, where it is stored or decomposes to inorganic carbon and diffuses back into coastal waters.
Mesoscale eddies, oceanic gyres about 100 kilometers in diameter, are ubiquitous features of the global ocean and play a ...

Seagrasses and phytoplankton near the ocean’s surface ... seagrasses and other forms of sea life interact sheds light on Earth’s carbon cycle. Carbon, a chemical element, is found in all ...
We have suggested that future warming climate scenarios will result in a shift in the phytoplankton community in the central ocean gyres towards smaller cells, and that under such conditions ...
