Cohesive bond strength of marine aggregates and its role in fragmentation
Marine aggregates are one of the main contributors to carbon sequestration in the deep sea through the gravitational settling of biogenic particles formed from the photosynthetic products of phytoplankton. The formation of large particles due to aggregation processes has been the focus of studies in...
