Deep zooplankton rely on small particles when particle fluxes are low
Abstract The fate of organic matter (OM) in the deep ocean remains enigmatic, with little understood regarding the flux and its utilization by deep food webs. We used compound‐specific nitrogen stable isotope ratios of source amino acids measured in particle size classes and deep zooplankton (700–15...
