The ballast effect of lithogenic matter and its influences on the carbon fluxes in the Indian Ocean

<p>Data obtained from long-term sediment trap experiments in the Indian Ocean in conjunction with satellite observations illustrate the influence of primary production and the ballast effect on organic carbon flux into the deep sea. They suggest that primary production is the main control on t...
