Primary Production of the Biosphere: Integrating Terrestrial and Oceanic Components
TL;DR: Integrating conceptually similar models of the growth of marine and terrestrial primary producers yielded an estimated global net primary production of 104.9 petagrams of carbon per year, with roughly equal contributions from land and oceans.
Journal ArticleDOI
Photosynthetic rates derived from satellite‐based chlorophyll concentration
TL;DR: In this paper, a light-dependent, depth-resolved model for carbon fixation (VGPM) was developed to understand the critical variables required for accurate assessment of daily depth-integrated phytoplankton carbon fixation from measurements of sea surface pigment concentrations (Csat)(Csat).
Journal ArticleDOI
The Microbial Engines That Drive Earth's Biogeochemical Cycles
TL;DR: Virtually all nonequilibrium electron transfers on Earth are driven by a set of nanobiological machines composed largely of multimeric protein complexes associated with a small number of prosthetic groups.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biogeochemical controls and feedbacks on ocean primary production
TL;DR: Elucidating the biogeochemical controls and feedbacks on primary production is essential to understanding how oceanic biota responded to and affected natural climatic variability in the geological past, and will respond to anthropogenically influenced changes in coming decades.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Global ocean NPP changes detected from space over the past decade are described, dominated by an initial increase in NPP of 1,930 teragrams of carbon a year, followed by a prolonged decrease averaging 190 Tg C yr-1.
