| 描述 | Carbon dioxide and other `greenhouse‘ gases are increasing inthe atmosphere due to the burning of fossil fuels, the destruction ofrain forests, etc., leading to predictions of a gradual global warmingwhich will perturb the global biosphere. An important process whichcounters this trend toward potential climate change is the removal ofcarbon dioxide from the surface ocean by photosynthesis. This processpackages carbon in phytoplankton which enter the food chain or sinkinto the deep sea. Their ultimate fate is a `rain‘ of organic debrisout of the surface-mixed layer of the ocean. On a global scale, themechanisms and overall rate of this process are poorly known. .The authors of the 25 papers in this volume present theirstate-of-the-art approaches to quantifying the mechanisms by which the`rain‘ of biogenic debris nourishes deep ocean life. .Prominent deep sea ecologists, geochemists and modelers addressrelationships between data and models of carbon fluxes and food chainsin the deep ocean. An attempt is made to estimate the fate of carbonin the deep sea on a global scale by summing up the utilization oforganic matter among all the populations of the abyssal biosphere.Comparisons are |
