Summary Of: Biological pump

The organic carbon that forms the biological pump is transported primarily by sinking particulate material... the biological pump transports material from the surface of the ocean to its depths... As the biological pump plays an important role in the Earth... the processes that form the biological pump are difficult to measure... The biological pump has a physico... the biological pump is not believed to play a significant role in this flux... This is because the biological pump is primarily limited by the availability of light and nutrients... may affect the biological pump in the future by warming and... may affect the biological pump by altering the strength of the hard tissues pump...
