Aggregation and sedimentation of Thalassiosira weissflogii (diatom) in a warmer and more acidified future ocean.
Increasing Transparent Exopolymer Particle (TEP) formation during diatom blooms as a result of elevated temperature and pCO2 have been suggested to result in enhanced aggregation and carbon flux, therewith potentially increasing the sequestration of carbon by the ocean. We present experimental resul...
