| 英文摘要 | Oligotrophic ocean is generally characterized by lower primary productivity, which has traditionally been considered to result in reduced transport of particulate organic carbon (POC) to the deep ocean compared to high-productivity regions. However, our findings challenge this paradigm based on studying transparent exopolymer particles (TEP) in the western tropical North Pacific (WTNP). This paper systematically examines the formation and distribution of TEP across the 0-2,000 m depth range in the WTNP, analyzes the influence of hydrodynamic factors on TEP dynamics, and investigates the role of Pelagibacter, a dominant bacterium in oligotrophic waters, in facilitating in situ TEP production. Despite low TEP concentrations in the water column (7.53-34.22 mu g Xeq/L), the proportion of TEP-C within POC remained stable with increasing depth. Furthermore, the vertical transport efficiency of POC in oligotrophic waters was significantly higher than in high-productivity regions, indicating that TEP plays a crucial yet overlooked role in facilitating the deep transport of POC in oligotrophic environments. Given this unique promotion mechanism, we proposed that the amount of POC transported to the deep oligotrophic ocean has been underestimated by at least fivefold. |
