The overarching goal of this work was to estimate particulate organic carbon (POC) export across three fronts: the Sub-Antarctic Front (SAF), the Antarctic Polar Front (APF) and the Southern Polar Front (SPF). Steady state export fluxes of 234Th in the upper 100 m ranged from 1600 to 2600 dpm m−2 d−1, decreasing with increasing latitude. Using large particle (>53 μm) C/234Th ratios, the 234Th-derived POC fluxes at 100 m ranged from 25 to 41 mmol C m−2 d−1. Observed C/234Th ratios decreased with increasing depth north of the APF while south of the APF, ratios remained similar or even increased with depth. These changes in C/234Th ratios are likely due to differences in the food web. Indeed, satellite images, together with macronutrients and dissolved iron concentrations suggest two different planktonic community structures north and south of the APF. Our results indicate that higher ratios of POC flux at 100 m to primary production occurred in nanophytoplankton dominated surface waters, where primary production rates were lower. Satellite images prior to the expedition suggest that the higher export efficiencies obtained in the northern half of the transect may be the result of the decoupling between production and export (Buesseler 1998). Transfer efficiencies to 400 m, i.e. the fraction of exported POC that reached 400 m, were found to be higher south of the APF, where diatoms were dominant and salps largely abundant. This suggests different remineralization pathways of sinking particles, influencing the transfer efficiency of exported POC to depth.Financial support for this project was provided by the Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación (CTM2011-14027-E, Spain) and the Generalitat de Catalunya to the research group MERS (2014 SGR-1365). VP and MR-M have been funded by Ph.D. fellowships from the Spanish Government (AP-2009-4733 and AP2010-2510, respectively). The participation of LML and JSE was funded by the MINECO of Spain (CGL2010-11846-E). Funding to WC and AB was supplied partly by the Helmholtz Innovation Fund Phytooptics (VH-NG-300). MH was partly supported by the DFG in the framework of the priority program "Antarctic Research with comparative investigations in Arctic ice areas" by a Grant HO 4680/1.Peer reviewedElsevierMinisterio de Ciencia e Innovación (España)Generalitat de CatalunyaMinisterio de Economía y Competitividad (España)Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas [https://ror.org/02gfc7t72]202320232017info:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501Postprintinfo:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersionapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10261/306286reponame:DIGITAL.CSIC.
