摘要: Arctic primary production is sensitive to reductions in sea ice cover, and will likely increase into the future. Whether this increased (PP) translate export of particulate organic carbon (POC) currently unclear. Here we report on POC efficiency during summer 2012 Atlantic sector Ocean. We coupled 234-thorium based estimates flux onboard incubation-based PP. Export (defined as fraction PP that exported below 100 m depth: ThE-ratio) showed large variability (0.09 ± 0.19–1.3 ± 0.3). The highest ThE-ratio (1.3 ± 0.3) was recorded a mono-specific bloom Phaeocystis pouchetii located edge. Blooming diatom dominated areas also had high ThE-ratios (0.1 ± 0.1–0.5 ± 0.2), while mixed and/or prebloom communities lower (0.10 ± 0.03–0.19 ± 0.05). Furthermore, using oxygen saturation, bacterial abundance, production, zooplankton demand, investigated spatial degree which sinking material may be remineralized upper mesopelagic ( m) at similar rate from blooms mesopelagic, contrary previous findings.
