Our paper is finally out! We looked at the effect of #salp blooms on #microbial communities and #carbon export, during different stages of a bloom. Check it out! @LadyZooplankton @Scripps_Ocean check out that #poop!

.@ladyZooplankton et al. find that #Salps (#plankton) alter microbial communities and quintuple the flux of sinking particles from the surface to the deep, strongly enhancing the ocean's ability to sequester #CO2 @Decimalab @Scripps_Ocean @niwa_nz nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

Ever wondered about the importance of #biologicalcollections, and why museums and maintaining past samples is important? Check out our piece here: lternet.edu/stories/importan…
Importance and Unanticipated Use of Biological Collections in Long-Term Ecological Research - LTER

Importance and Unanticipated Use of Biological Collections in Long-Term Ecological Research - LTER

Biological collections are a valuable resource to long-term sites, but logistically challenging to maintain. The authors present an argument for supporting biological collections across sites.

A study led by @DecimaLab out of @niwa_nz highlights the impact salp’s fast sinking fecal pellets can have on carbon export. When salps are present the biological carbon pump is more efficient, sequestering atmospheric carbon to the ocean! #RVTangaroa nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

The 💩 produced by microscopic organisms called salps helps remove CO2 from the atmosphere. Learn more about Scripps oceanographer @LadyZooplankton's @NSF-funded research published in @Nature on the power of salp poop. ⬇️ #NSFStories @DecimaLab scripps.ucsd.edu/news/salppo…

Don't be scared of the ghost fish 👻 🐠—despite its haunting name, these helpful creatures act as the ocean's vacuum. Scripps biological oceanographer @LadyZooplankton shares more about how these fish are an important part of the carbon cycle. ⬇️ bolnews.com/trending/2022/10…
