"Essentially all of the marine
planktonic net primary productivity (47.5 PgC/yr primary source) involved organisms with CCMs (Carbon concentrating mechanisms), and CCMs also occur in
many of the organisms contributing to coastal benthic net primary
productivity (c. 1PgC/yr primary source)." Peta=10^15 |
