Description
Productivity and paleoproductivity of the ocean are important topics in the study of the carbon cycle of the ocean and atmosphere which link ocean chemistry and climate. In this volume the central themes discussed are continuous versus episodic production and associated export from the photic zone, carbon flux from transfer of particulate carbon versus transfer of dissolved organic matter, the role of seafloor processes in remobilization of carbon and nutrients, and long-term reconstruction of productivity and its relationships to the fluctuations of carbon dioxide through geological time. The text will be of benefit to physicists, chemists, geochemists, sedimentologists, stratigraphers, atmospheric scientists and biological, physical and chemical oceanographers.
