Efficient Organic Carbon Burial by Bottom Currents in the Ocean: A Potential Role in Climate Modulation
Abstract Bottom currents play a major role in deep‐sea sedimentation, but their significance in the burial of organic carbon is poorly quantified at a global scale. Here we show that Holocene fluxes of organic carbon into the contourite drifts are high, with a global average of 0.09 g cm−2 Kyr−1. At...
