The biological carbon pump — the natural process of marine organisms and fish drawing CO2 from the atmosphere and storing it in the ocean — has the potential to remove roughly $1 trillion per year ...

Through one of the primary carbon storage mechanisms, the biological carbon pump, phytoplankton (microscopic marine plants at the bottom of the oceanic food chain) take up CO 2 in the surface ocean ...

The biological carbon pump (BCP) is a critical part of Earth's carbon cycle, removing CO 2 —the main greenhouse gas ...

By introducing clay dust into the marine ecosystem, researchers aim to enhance the efficiency of the biological pump—a natural cycle that transfers carbon from the atmosphere to the deep ocean.

Without this biological carbon pump, atmospheric carbon dioxide levels would be around 50 per cent higher than they are today. But as our ocean warms, this zooplankton community is changing ...

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 ...

We estimate that the amount of carbon transported below the mixed layer by migrating zooplankton in the North Atlantic Ocean constitutes 27% (16–30%) of the total export flux associated with the ...

The function of many biologically active molecules requires the presence of carbon-nitrogen bonds in ... who seek to discover molecules with novel biological function. Typically, a catalyst ...
