Carbon injection potential of the mesopelagic-migrant pump in the Southern Ocean during summer

Carbon injection potential of the mesopelagic-migrant pump in the Southern Ocean during summer

The passive sinking flux of particles, termed the biological gravitational pump (BGP), is an important component of the ocean’s biological carbon pump. In addition, carbon-rich particles are actively injected to depth through the diel vertical migration (DVM) of micronekton and mesozooplankton from...
