Extended Data Table 1 Prior investigations of latitudinal trends in b values along with explanations of their controlling factors

From: Decoding drivers of carbon flux attenuation in the oceanic biological pump

  1. Opposing trends for b values from Martin curves are evident, as are the proposed differences in the controlling factors. Note, the b value reflects wide-ranging particle attenuation processes involving both zooplankton and particle-attached microbes.
