Coupling carbon and energy fluxes in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre

The biological pump is the key ecological component that links carbon and energy flow from oceanic surface waters to the abyss. Here the authors show that the elemental composition and energy content of sinking particulate matter can be used to develop a more comprehensive understanding of energy fl...
