Proteins in the Sea — Synthesis

  • Chapter
Dynamics and Characterization of Marine Organic Matter

Part of the book series: Ocean Sciences Research (OSR) ((OCRE,volume 2))

Abstract

Primary production by phytoplankton is the largest source of organic matter in the sea. Photosynthetically produced organic matter in the photic layer is transferred to higher and lower trophic levels through marine food webs. Organic matter in the surface water is also transported to the intermediate and deep waters, as well as to the sediment. As a consequence, organic matter plays a role in many biogeochemical processes in the water column, for example, the fueling of marine food webs and the control of the dynamics of other chemicals (by, for example, the regeneration of nutrients, the consumption of dissolved oxygen, and the scavenging of metals, radionuclides, pollutants, etc.), on the one hand, while, on the other hand, organic matter itself is transformed to detrital particulate organic matter (POM) and dissolved organic matter (DOM). The resultant detrital POM and DOM are also tightly coupled to the biogeochemical cycle in the marine system.
