      Xue, TianfeiORCIDiD; Frenger, IvyORCIDiD; Oschlies, AndreasORCIDiD; Stock, Charles A.ORCIDiD; Koeve, WolfgangORCIDiD; John, Jasmin G.ORCIDiD; Prowe, A. E. FriederikeORCIDiD (Geophysical Research Letters, 2022-06-16)
      The Humboldt Upwelling System is of global interest due to its importance to fisheries, though the origin of its high productivity remains elusive. In regional physical‐biogeochemical model simulations, the seasonal amplitude ...
    • Sinking of Gelatinous Zooplankton Biomass Increases Deep Carbon Transfer Efficiency Globally 

      Lebrato, Mario; Pahlow, Markus; Frost, Jessica R.; Küter, Marie; de Jesus Mendes, Pedro; Molinero, Juan-Carlos; Oschlies, AndreasORCIDiD (Global Biogeochemical Cycles, 2019)
      Gelatinous zooplankton (Cnidaria, Ctenophora, and Urochordata, namely, Thaliacea) are ubiquitous members of plankton communities linking primary production to higher trophic levels and the deep ocean by serving as food and ...
