Salp blooms drive strong increases in passive carbon export in the Southern Ocean

Salp blooms drive strong increases in passive carbon export in the Southern Ocean

The Southern Ocean contributes substantially to the global biological carbon pump (BCP). Salps in the Southern Ocean, in particular Salpa thompsoni, are important grazers that produce large, fast-sinking fecal pellets. Here, we quantify the salp bloom impacts on microbial dynamics and the BCP, by co...
