Where is mineral ballast important for surface export of particulate organic carbon in the ocean?

Where is mineral ballast important for surface export of particulate organic carbon in the ocean?

Correlations between particulate organic carbon (POC) and mineral fluxes in the deep ocean have inspired the inclusion of “ballast effect” parameterizations in carbon cycle models. A recent study demonstrated regional variability in the effect of ballast minerals on the flux of POC in the deep ocean...
