Influence of diatom diversity on the ocean biological carbon pump
Description: This journal article shows the extent to which diatoms contribute to the export of carbon varies by diatom type, with carbon transfer modulated by the silicon to carbon ratio of diatom cells, the thickness of the shells and their life strategies; for instance, the tendency to form aggregates or resting spores .[Source: Nature Geoscience]
