Respiration rate scales inversely with sinking speed of settling marine aggregates

Respiration rate scales inversely with sinking speed of settling marine aggregates

Sinking marine aggregates have been studied for a long time to understand their role in carbon sequestration. Traditionally, sinking speed and respiration rates have been treated as independent variables, but two recent papers suggest that there is a connection albeit in contrasting directions. Here...

Zusammenfassung:Sinking marine aggregates have been studied for a long time to understand their role in carbon sequestration. Traditionally, sinking speed and respiration rates have been treated as independent variables, but two recent papers suggest that there is a connection albeit in contrasting directions. Here we collected recently formed (100 m d-1) was 0.12 d-1 ± 0.08 d-1 (SD). Slower sinking aggregates (
