- Biological-pump biogeochemistry — the home turf: the central transport limb connecting surface primary production to deep-water oxygen consumption and millennial sediment burial, with the export flux (mg C m⁻² d⁻¹ at 100–200 m) the tracked variable that closes the column carbon budget. Mesopelagic and benthic ecology — the same flux read as food supply: the sinking aggregates sustain mid-water and seafloor communities, and the in-transit losses (fragmentation, grazing, bacterial dissolution) become the attenuation that starves depth. Aggregation kinetics / particle dynamics — the load-bearing step studied directly: collision-and-adhesion rates, transparent exopolymer particles, stickiness, and turbulent shear set how fast flocs grow past the settling-velocity threshold during blooms.
This sourceAggregation theory as the framework used to predict maximum particle concentrations in the ocean and the fate of diatom blooms.

“Aggregation theory not only provides a framework for understanding these processes, but it also provides a means for making predictions and has been successfully used to predict maximum particle concentrations in the oceans and the fate of diatom blooms (including those from iron fertilization), the size spectra of particles in the oceans, and the size distributions of trace metals.”

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This work's DOI is recorded above but has not been resolved against an external catalogue, so nothing here confirms the work exists.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
