Particle export fluxes to the oxygen minimum zone of the eastern tropical North Atlantic
In the ocean, sinking of particulate organic matter (POM) drives carbon export from the euphotic zone and supplies nutrition to mesopelagic communities, the feeding and degradation activities of which in turn lead to export flux attenuation. Oxygen (O<sub>2</sub>) minimum zones (OMZs) wi...
