Tiny ocean bacteria may move more carbon to the deep sea
Original: Tiny ocean bacteria may carry surprising amounts of carbon into the deep
New reporting suggests that tiny ocean bacteria may play a far larger role than assumed in transporting carbon from surface waters into the deep ocean. If confirmed, the finding could change how scientists account for carbon storage in the sea and refine estimates of the ocean's role in regulating the global climate.
Why now: New research on how ocean microbes move carbon to the deep sea has drawn attention for its potential climate implications.
