This open access book discusses biogeochemical processes relevant to carbon and aims to provide
readers graduate students and researchers with insight into the functioning of marine
ecosystems. A carbon centric approach has been adopted but other elements are included where
relevant or needed. The book focuses on concepts and quantitative understanding of primary
production organic matter mineralization and sediment biogeochemistry. The impact of
biogeochemical processes on inorganic carbon dynamics and organic matter transformation are
also discussed.
