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 ...

Here are a few examples of bioremediation, which serve as illustrations of what can be done. The first interesting thing to ...

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 ...

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 ...

"They transport nutrients from the highly productive coastal upwelling regions to the open ocean, where they are released and are likely to influence biological ... in the Carbon Pump of Eastern ...

The untapped potential of carbon storage and sequestration in different native habitats is too often ignored in California’s land-use decisions, according to a new report published today by the Center ...
