Abstract
Marine biogenic calcium carbonate (CaCO3) cycles play a key role in ecosystems and in regulating the ocean's ability to absorb atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2). However, the drivers and magnitude of CaCO3 cycling are not well understood, especially for the upper ocean. Here, we provide global-scale evidence that heterotrophic respiration in settling marine aggregates may produce localized undersaturated microenvironments in which CaCO3 particles rapidly dissolve, producing excess alkalinity in the upper ocean. In the deep ocean, dissolution of CaCO3 is primarily driven by conventional thermodynamics of CaCO3 solubility with reduced fluxes of CaCO3 burial to marine sediments beneath more corrosive North Pacific deep waters. Upper ocean dissolution, shown to be sensitive to ocean export production, can increase the neutralizing capacity for respired CO2 by up to 6% in low-latitude thermocline waters. Without upper ocean dissolution, the ocean might lose 20% more CO2 to the atmosphere through the low-latitude upwelling regions.
