Slow-sinking particulate organic carbon and its attenuation in the mesopelagic water of the South China Sea

Coastal acidification has been widely investigated in terms of its rationale and ecological effects in the last decade. However, the driving mechanism for acidification in open seawater, especially in mesopelagic water, is still poorly understood. Here, the sinking velocity and flux attenuation of p...
