An experimental study on the effects of nutrient enrichment on organic carbon persistence in the western Pacific oligotrophic gyre

Carbon sequestration in the ocean is of great concern with respect to the mitigation of global warming. How to hold the fixed organic carbon in the presence of tremendous numbers of heterotrophic microorganisms in marine environments is the central issue. We previously hypothesized that excessive nu...
