Caption fro The Ocean Twilight Zone's Role in Climate Change Report, Pg. 5:
A simplified view of the global carbon cycle. Arrows represent a variety of ways that carbon moves between land, the atmosphere, and the ocean.
Caption from Oceanus magazine, Vol. 56, No. 2, Pg. 14:
In various forms, carbon is continuously exchanged between Earth’s atmosphere, and, and water—an essential cycle for life and regulating the planet’s climate. Atmospheric carbon dioxide readily dissolves in the ocean’s surface waters, where some of it is taken up by living organisms or sequestered in deep sea rocks and sediments.
