Microplastics disrupt Antarctic krill faecal carbon export_updated

AI summary Read the abstract

This is a duplicate dataset record for the same Antarctic krill microplastics study as entry 721 — the code and raw data supporting the paper on how microplastic ingestion disrupts krill fecal pellet production and deep-ocean carbon export.

Study Type Environmental

This is the scripts and raw dataset for the manuscript "Microplastic-induced fragmentation reduces krill faecal-pellet carbon export in the Southern Ocean: Evidence from mechanistic modelling". Using the jupyter notebook and the csv document under the same file could repeat the simulations in the paper.

Microplastics disrupt Antarctic krill faecal carbon export_updated

AI summary Read the abstract

This entry is the code and raw dataset accompanying a scientific paper on how microplastics affect Antarctic krill's ability to produce dense, sinking fecal pellets that carry carbon to the deep ocean. The underlying research found that microplastic ingestion causes krill to produce smaller, more fragile pellets that sink more slowly, potentially reducing the Southern Ocean's biological carbon pump. It is the data repository record rather than the published paper itself.

Data in support of 'Regionally disparate ecological responses to microplastic slowing of faecal pellets yields coherent carbon cycle response'

AI summary Read the abstract

This is a duplicate data repository entry for the study examining how microplastics affect the sinking of zooplankton fecal pellets and the ocean carbon cycle. The repository contains model output for simulations with and without microplastic effects on pellet sinking rates.

Data in support of Supplement to 'Regionally disparate ecological responses to microplastic slowing of faecal pellets yields coherent carbon cycle response'

AI summary Read the abstract

This is a data repository record containing model code and output files supporting a published study on how microplastics slow the sinking of zooplankton fecal pellets, which affects how carbon moves from ocean surface waters to the deep sea. The associated study found that even when ecological responses varied by region, the overall effect on the ocean carbon cycle was consistent.

Data and code for "Microplastics as tracers of water-mass transport history reveal non-local net primary production spillovers"

This entry is a duplicate data and code repository (same as ID 2306) associated with the study using microplastics as tracers of ocean water-mass transport.

Article Tier 2

Data in support of 'Regionally disparate ecological responses to microplastic slowing of faecal pellets yields coherent carbon cycle response'

AI summary Read the abstract

This is a data repository record containing model code supporting a study on how microplastics slow the sinking speed of zooplankton fecal pellets in the ocean, affecting carbon export to the deep sea. The study's ocean circulation model simulated how this slowing effect varies by marine region.
