proposed a new mechanism called Microbial Carbon Pump (MCP) that unravels the mysterious processes underlying the formation of the vast oceanic RDOC reservoir. Through generation of intrinsic RDOC ...

Microbial activity in marine sediment acts ... combined with a global-scale meta-analysis. The biological carbon pump exports about 7.36 Pg of carbon globally per year from the upper ocean ...

A new study led by Dartmouth College proposes a method to enlist immense populations of zooplankton in reducing atmospheric ...

Through one of the primary carbon storage mechanisms, the biological carbon pump, phytoplankton (microscopic marine plants at the bottom of ... The IAEA Environment Laboratories examine the carbon’s ...

Utilizing zooplankton's feeding habits, researchers aim to boost oceanic carbon sequestration by introducing clay particles to their diet, significantly speeding up the biological carbon pump. A study ...

In an innovative effort to combat climate change, a Dartmouth-led study has proposed a method that employs trillions of ...

This Grand Challenge project will investigate how to achieve this, by understanding and maximising the transfer of carbon to long-term storage through the soil microbial carbon pump, for example by ...

Microbial carbon use efficiency (CUE) refers to the proportion of assimilated carbon retained in microbial biomass. High CUE promotes SOC formation by driving microbial growth and the production ...
