Global database of ratios of particulate organic carbon to thorium-234 in the ocean: improving estimates of the biological carbon pump
<p>The ocean's biological carbon pump (BCP) plays a major role in the global carbon cycle. A fraction of the photosynthetically fixed organic carbon produced in surface waters is exported below the sunlit layer as settling particles (e.g., marine snow). Since the seminal works on the BCP,...
