Diatom-mediated Export

Diatom-Mediated Export is a biological mechanism within the marine carbon cycle whereby diatoms facilitate the vertical transport of organic carbon from the ocean surface to depth through the production of dense, sinking particles largely composed of opaline silica and organic matter.
