Fecal pellet packaging enhances marine carbon sequestration
Abstract Fecal pellets produced by marine zooplankton contribute substantially to transporting biologically fixed carbon from the sunlit sea surface into deeper water layers. Their occurrence and composition are often heterogeneous, and pellets may undergo various changes while sinking, making it difficult to quantitatively assess their mechanisms of ...

Abstract The biogeochemical fate of terrestrial dissolved organic carbon (tDOC) in aquatic environments is a poorly understood part of the carbon cycle. In nature, tDOC undergoes photochemical and microbial degradation simultaneously. However, photochemical and microbial degradation are generally quantified separately, and nonlinear interactions ...

Abstract Green tides caused by Ulva species have become one of the most serious marine ecological disasters, now impacting many coastal nations around the world. Although climatic and environmental drivers of these macroalgal blooms are well recognized, growing evidence identifies Ulva‐associated microbiota as potential pivotal regulators of bloom ...

Translocating Intact Assemblages to Degraded Sites to Accelerate Ecological Recovery
Estuarine ecosystems are threatened by anthropogenic pressures such as climate change, coastal development, and increased nutrient and sediment inputs. These pressures are deteriorating ecological health and threatening the functioning and services that estuarine ecosystems provide.

Potential Impacts of Climate Interventions on Marine Ecosystems
Abstract Rising global temperatures pose significant risks to marine ecosystems, biodiversity, and fisheries. Recent comprehensive assessments suggest that large‐scale mitigation efforts to limit warming are falling short, and all feasible future climate projections, including those that represent optimistic emissions reductions, exceed the Paris ...

Abstract Estuaries and associated shelf deposits, which bury 70%–90% of global marine organic carbon, making them key sites for marine carbon burial. Variations in total organic carbon (TOC) content and the organic carbon burial rate (OCBR) in these sediments strongly influence carbon sequestration dynamics.

Impact of ENSO on Nitrous Oxide Emissions in the Eastern Tropical Pacific
Abstract Nitrous oxide (N2O ${\mathrm{N}}_{2}\mathrm{O}$) is a powerful greenhouse gas, with the ocean contributing ∼4.2 Tg N y−1 to global N2O ${\mathrm{N}}_{2}\mathrm{O}$ emissions. The Eastern Tropical Pacific (ETP) is a hotspot of N2O ${\mathrm{N}}_{2}\mathrm{O}$ emissions due to high N2O ${\mathrm{N}}_{2}\mathrm{O}$ production under low‐oxygen ...

Global Eddy Subduction Carbon Pump From Argo Floats
Abstract The eddy subduction pump, part of the biological pump, transports carbon‐rich surface filaments downward via kilometer‐scale turbulence in frontal regions, over days to weeks. Because of its spatial and temporal scales, this pump has been challenging to observe and quantify.

Abstract The Deepwater Horizon (DWH) oil spill in the NE Gulf of Mexico in 2010 was the largest accidental spill globally. During and after the spill, oil was incorporated into marine snow (marine‐oil‐snow or MOS) and sedimented to the seafloor, accounting for ∼21% of the oil released.

Constraining Greenhouse Gas Cycling and Emissions in Africa's Largest Humic Lake
Abstract Humic tropical lakes and wetlands are globally important sources of atmospheric greenhouse gases (GHGs). However, mechanistic insight into GHG cycling in such systems remains limited—especially in understudied central Africa. To address this, here we measured high‐, falling‐, and low‐water seasonal concentrations and isotopic compositions of ...
