Gravity-driven sinking of “marine snow” sequesters carbon in the ocean, constituting a key biological pump that regulates Earth’s climate. A mechanistic understanding of this phenomenon is obscured by the biological richness of these aggregates and a … Gravity-driven sinking of “marine snow” sequesters carbon in the ocean, constituting a key biological pump that regulates Earth’s climate.
