TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide an assessment of sediment trap accuracy issues by gathering data to address trap hydrodynamics, the problem of zooplankton swimmers, and the solubilization of material after collection.

TL;DR: In this paper, an algorithm is derived relating annual particulate organic carbon (POC) flux to primary production and depth that yields variations in the export ratio (ER = POC flux/primary production) at 125 m of between 0.08 and 0.38 over the range of production from 50 to 400 g C m−2 yr−1.

TL;DR: In this paper, bottom-tethered sediment traps deployed at the European continental margin at 49°N and off the Canary Islands (ESTOC) were investigated for the determination of 230Th trapping efficiencies.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a synthesis view of the major transport modes of both biogenic and inorganic material being delivered to the open slope of the Goban Spur, and differentiate between the direct biogenic flux from the surface mixed layer and the advective component, both Biogenic and lithogenic.

TL;DR: Growth rates of bacteria were determined in subsamples from 51 0.8-μm-filtered batches of seawater incubated in the dark at in-situ temperature as discussed by the authors.
