Shown are the links among the ocean's biological pump and pelagic food web. Light blue waters are the euphotic zone, while the darker blue waters represent the twilight zone. Disclaimer ...

The biological carbon pump involves uptake and fixation of inorganic carbon into organic matter by autotrophic organisms and subsequent transportation into the ocean’s depths. However, this is not a ...

Microscopic organisms in the ocean play a key role in removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. A new study unveils a hidden biological factor that could change our understanding of how this ...

Researchers use this kind of experimental setup to study mesocosm systems, marine food webs and the biological pump. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not responsible for the accuracy of news ...

One consequence of this is that when deep water upwells in warmer, equatorial latitudes, it strongly outgasses carbon dioxide to the atmosphere because of the reduced solubility of the gas. The ...

Until now, this process—the biological carbon pump—was thought to be particularly efficient in oxygen-poor areas. A new study by researchers at the GEOMAR Helmholtz Center for Ocean Research ...

Each year, the ocean absorbs between 5 and 10 gigatons of atmospheric carbon through biological processes, thus playing a ...

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz.— Tó Nizhóní Ání, Diné Citizens Against Ruining our Environment and the Center for Biological Diversity have filed motions urging the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to deny ...
