Pelagic Ecosystem Function

Pelagic Ecosystem Function is a scientific construct that specifies the collective biological, chemical, and physical processes mediated by organisms in the open-ocean water column, distinguishing it through its focus on the mechanistic roles of planktonic and nektonic communities in sustaining energy flow, nutrient cycling, and trophic dynamics within pelagic environments.
