The dynamics of the particulate organic carbon (POC) pool in the ocean are central to the marine carbon cycle. POC is the link between surface primary production, the deep ocean, and sediments. The rate at which POC is degraded in the dark ocean can impact atmospheric CO² concentration. 3, record 1, English, - particulate%20organic%20carbon

Suies. Particules solides, riches en carbone et résultant d'une combustion incomplète, en suspension dans les gaz de combustion. Leur dépôt sur les parois des conduits constitue "la suie". Les particules de carbone proviennent en effet du craquage de goudrons ou hydrocarbures. La quantité de suie dépend de la qualité même du combustible utilisé. 1, record 3, French, - particule%20de%20carbone
