文摘

Deep scattering layer (DSL) variability demarks a global mesopelagic biogeography DSL backscattering intensity is predictable from primary productivity and temperature DSL depth is predictable from primary productivity and surface wind stress DSL shallowing and ocean warming will give rise to an increase in DSL biomass by 2100
