Sinking Particle Dynamics

Sinking Particle Dynamics is a theoretical framework that characterizes the movement, transformation, and remineralization of organic and inorganic particulate matter as it descends through the water column, distinguishing itself by integrating hydrodynamic principles, particle size spectra, and biogeochemical fluxes to quantify carbon export efficiency in the ocean's biological pump and deep-sea carbon cycle.
