effects of microplastic contamination of marine snow on the deep sea food chain and carbon sequestration by phytoplankton
2025
S. R. Krupesha Sharma
Summary
This study examines the effects of microplastic contamination of marine snow on the deep-sea food chain and on carbon sequestration by phytoplankton, investigating how microplastics alter the biological pump that transports organic carbon from surface waters to the deep ocean. The findings highlight microplastics as a disruptive factor in deep-sea carbon cycling and trophic energy transfer pathways.
