Biogel scavenging slows the sinking of organic particles to the ocean depths

Abstract One of Earth’s largest carbon fluxes is driven by particles made from photosynthetically fixed matter, which aggregate and sink into the deep ocean. While biodegradation is known to reduce this vertical flux, the biophysical processes that control particle sinking speed are not well underst...
