Phytoplankton Pellets
Organic carbon flux to the deep ocean is driven primarily by zooplankton faecal pellets, although other contributors such as marine snow aggregates and phytodetritus from sinking phytoplankton also play a part. Collectively these particulate organic particles act like a biological pump to transport, recycle and scrub greenhouse gases out of the water column.
Copepods (Think Plankton from Spongebob) can effectively convert small organisms’ biomass to rapidly sinking faecal pellets that transport carbon from surface to bottom of ocean environments; yet this ‘fecal express’ process remains difficult to measure due to its complexity in real world conditions.
Example: the size and abundance of copepods depend upon their species as well as temperature conditions in the sea; additionally, seasonal changes may alter grazing species abundances – these complex dynamics make estimating carbon sequestration from observations almost impossible.
