Remineralization of particulate organic carbon in an ocean oxygen minimum zone
The downward transfer of organic carbon from the surface to the deep ocean is increased in oxygen minimum zones relative to oxic waters. Here, the authors show reduced interactions of zooplankton with sinking particles owing to low oxygen are likely the primary reason for the observed high transfer...
