Short summary
CO2 taken up by marine algae can escape ocean surface waters through subsequent particle formation and sinking. Representing this biological carbon pump (BCP) in Earth system models remains challenging and poses uncertainties for future projections. We show that an advanced BCP representation regionally buffers ocean biogeochemistry compared to a classical approach while both respond globally similar to climate warming. Particle microstructure turns out as a key uncertainty for sinking fluxes.
