Ocean carbon sequestration: Particle fragmentation by copepods as a significant unrecognised factor?

Ocean biology helps regulate global climate by fixing atmospheric CO2 and exporting it to deep waters as sinking detrital particles. New observations demonstrate that particle fragmentation is the principal factor controlling the depth to which these particles penetrate the ocean's interior, an...
