Scientists unravel drivers of the global Zinc cycle in our oceans, with implications for a changing climate - EurekAlert
The understanding of the global Zinc cycle in our oceans has important implications in the context of warming oceans. A warmer climate increases erosion, leading to more dust in the atmosphere and consequently more dust being deposited into the oceans. More dust means more scavenging of Zinc particles, leading to less Zinc being available to sustain phytoplankton and other marine life, thereby diminishing the oceans' ability to absorb carbon.
