Ubiquitous healthy diatoms in the deep sea confirm deep carbon injection by the biological pump
The role of the ocean as a sink for CO2 is partially dependent on the downward transport of phytoplankton cells packaged within fast-sinking particles. However, whether such fast-sinking mechanisms deliver fresh organic carbon down to the deep bathypelagic sea and whether this mechanism is prevalent across the ocean requires confirmation. Here we report the ubiquitous presence of healthy photos...
متن کاملThe role of mixotrophic protists in the biological carbon pump
The traditional view of the planktonic food web describes consumption of inorganic nutrients by photoautotrophic phytoplankton, which in turn supports zooplankton and ultimately higher trophic levels. Pathways centred on bacteria provide mechanisms for nutrient recycling. This structure lies at the foundation of most models used to explore biogeochemical cycling, functioning of the biological p...
متن کاملDeep Mixing and Metallicity: Carbon Depletion in Globular Cluster Giants
We present the results of an observational study of the efficiency of deep mixing in globular cluster red giants as a function of stellar metallicity. We determine [C/Fe] abundances based on low-resolution spectra taken with the Kast spectrograph on the 3m Shane telescope at Lick Observatory. Spectra centered on the 4300Å CH absorption band were taken for 42 bright red giants in 11 Galactic glo...
متن کاملHORIZONS Biological or microbial carbon pump? The role of phytoplankton stoichiometry in ocean carbon sequestration
Once fixed by photosynthesis carbon becomes part of the marine food web. The fate of this carbon has two possible outcomes, it may be respired and released back to the ocean and potentially to the atmosphere as CO2 or retained in the ocean interior and/or marine sediments for extended time scales. The most important biologically mediated processes responsible for long-term carbon storage in the...
متن کاملRapid Mixing
In the past decade many proofs of tractability have involved showing that some Markov chain ”mixes rapidly”. We will do a fast tour of the highlights of Markov chain mixing, with a view toward answering—or at least addressing—the following questions: What is rapid mixing? How do you prove it, and why would you want to? Does it really have anything to do with computational complexity? And, most ...
