Carbon-concentrating mechanisms and beta-carboxylation: their potential contribution to marine photosynthetic carbon isotope fractionation
The ability of the ocean to buffer the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere through the so-called biological pump depends on the extent to which the photosynthetic rate of marine phytoplankton is limited by the concentration of CO2 in the water. If CO2 becomes available to phytoplankton by passive...
