Krill defecation at depth reduces carbon flux attenuation in the Weddell Sea euphotic zone

Abstract. The Weddell Sea, Southern Ocean, is a highly productive location of deep-water formation and a globally important site of carbon sequestration. Here, the biological carbon pump is dominated by particulate processes (e.g. zooplankton faecal pellets and phytoplankton detr...
