Copepods Boost the Production but Reduce the Carbon Export Efficiency by Diatoms

The fraction of net primary production that is exported from the euphotic zone as sinking particulate organic carbon (POC) varies notably through time and from region to region. Phytoplankton containing biominerals, such as silicified diatoms have long been associated with high export fluxes. Howeve...
