Fig. 8: Salp reads in the water column, sinking particles, and sediments on the seafloor.
From: Salp blooms drive strong increases in passive carbon export in the Southern Ocean
Salp reads in the euphotic zone for a Subantarctic (SA) waters, and b Subtropical (ST) waters. Number of reads in Particle Interceptor traps (filled) and in situ pump (white) bars in c SA waters and d ST waters. Integrated amplicon sequence variant (ASV) reads in e water column, euphotic zone, f water column, euphotic and mesopelagic zones, g all traps combined, and h sediments on seabed. S, S, and NS in SA locations indicate: Salp Southland Current (SA-Sc), Salp SA, and Non-salp SA. S, NS in ST locations indicate: Salp ST, and Non-salp ST.
