Sea Ice Loss leads to regime shifts in the arctic biological pump [PDF]
The Arctic Ocean has undergone accelerated warming and a marked decline in sea ice over recent decades. Yet, the response of the biological pump—a critical mechanism for atmospheric carbon sequestration—remains poorly understood.

Complexity in biogeochemical models: consequences for the biological carbon pump [PDF]
Ocean biogeochemical models underpin projections of future marine ecosystem change, including anticipated shifts in the biological carbon pump (BCP) and broader biogeochemical cycles. However, their outputs remain highly sensitive to model complexity and

Effects of Eddy‐Driven Subduction on Ocean Biological Carbon Pump [PDF]
Estimates of the ocean biological carbon pump are limited by uncertainties in the magnitude of the physical injection of particulate and dissolved organic carbon to the ocean interior. A major challenge is to evaluate the contribution of these physical pumps at small spatial and temporal scales (<100 km and <1 month).

Ocean biological carbon pump: The evolution and prospects
As one of the primary pathways for atmospheric CO2 sequestration, the marine ecosystem absorbs approximately the same amount of CO2 as terrestrial ecosystems. This process is mainly driven by the biological activities of marine organisms, which help move

Evaluating the biological pump efficiency of the Last Glacial Maximum ocean using δ13C [PDF]
Although both physical and biological marine changes are required to explain the 100 ppm lower atmospheric pCO2 of the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM, ∼21 ka) as compared to preindustrial (PI) times, their exact contributions are debated.

COMMENTARY | Understanding the Role of the Biological Pump in the Global Carbon Cycle: An Imperative for Ocean Science [PDF]
Anthropogenically driven climate change will rapidly become Earth's dominant transformative influence in the coming decades. The oceanic biological pump—the complex suite of processes that results in the transfer of particulate and dissolved organic ...

Carbon sequestration by multiple biological pump pathways in a coastal upwelling biome
Multiple processes transport carbon into the deep ocean as part of the biological carbon pump, leading to long-term carbon sequestration. However, our ability to predict future changes in these processes is hampered by the absence of studies that have ...

The influence of the ocean circulation state on ocean carbon storage and CO2 drawdown potential in an Earth system model [PDF]
During the four most recent glacial cycles, atmospheric CO2 during glacial maxima has been lowered by about 90–100 ppm with respect to interglacials. There is widespread consensus that most of this carbon was partitioned in the ocean.

Precessional pacing of tropical ocean carbon export during the Late Cretaceous [PDF]
The marine biological carbon pump, which exports organic carbon out of the surface ocean, plays an essential role in sequestering carbon from the atmosphere, thus impacting climate and affecting marine ecosystems.
