Princeton University and Xiamen University researchers report that in tropical and subtropical oligotrophic waters, ocean acidification reduces primary production, the process of photosynthesis in ...
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.
How is organic matter transported from productive coastal areas to the open ocean? Researchers have now shown that eddies play a crucial role in this process. The swirling currents contain large ...
