Multi-centennial response of marine carbon pumps to global warming

Nature Climate Change, Published online: 25 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41558-026-02686-xChanges in the ocean in response to climate change could impact its ability to function as a carbon sink. This study shows that under high emissions, circulation changes will reduce anthropogenic carbon uptake even as biological storage increases, whereas under low emissions, temperature is the key factor.
