Their distribution within the oceanic water column and the underpinning processes, however, remain unclear. Here we show that MP prevail throughout the water column of the eastern North Pacific Subtropical Gyre, comprising 334 #/m<sup>3</sup> (84.5% of plastic particles <100 µm), with exponential relationships between concentrations and water depth in the upper 500-m layer and marked accumulation below this layer. Our results suggest that the biological carbon pump (BCP) strongly contributes to the water column MP redistribution in terms of polymer type, material density and particle size, which in turn could influence the efficiency of organic matter export to the deep sea. We further show that <sup>14</sup>C-depleted plastic particles predictably are an emerging nonneglectable perturbation to radiocarbon signatures in the deep ocean through depletion of the <sup>14</sup>C/C ratio in the POC pool. Our data provide insight into vertical MP flux and highlight the potential role of MP in alternating the marine particulate pool and interactions with the BCP.","AbstractOtherLang":null,"BibLvlCode":"AS","StandardTitle":"Pelagic microplastics in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre: a prevalent anthropogenic component of the particulate organic carbon pool","OrigTitleLangCode":"en","OrigTitleLangCodeExtended":"eng","OrigTitleLangID":15,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2024-12-10 01:33:17.368041","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+01:00"},"UserAccessRight":null,"UserAccID":null,"AuthorKeywords":"microplastic; North Pacific Garbage Patch; biological carbon pump; vertical redistribution; marine particulate pool","OtherDescriptors":null,"Notes":null,"AnaPub":2023,"MonPub":null,"DateUpdate":"2023-04-07","DateCreate":"2023-04-07","SecASFANote":null,"ConfID":null,"PeerRev":1,"VlizCoreFlag":1,"WoScode":"WOS:001063372900053","VABBcode":null,"OpenAcc":1,"DOI":"10.1093/pnasnexus/pgad070"},"refs":null,"anarec":{"AnaID":363440,"PubliDate":2023,"Pagination":"pgad070","XtraPublOfAnaID":null,"ISBN":null,"Volume":"2","Issue":"3","BRefMon":null,"BRefMonRR":null,"BRefXtra":null,"BRefXtraRR":null,"SerBRefID":363439,"SerRR":"PNAS Nexus.
