Marine plankton commonly combine the autotrophic use of light and inorganic resources with the heterotrophic ingestion of prey. These mixotrophs blur the strict boundary between producers and consumers and allow energy and biomass to enter the food web across multiple trophic levels. Incorporating this flexibility into a global simulation of the surface ocean food web reveals that mixotrophy enhances the transfer of biomass to larger organisms at higher trophic levels, which in turn increases the efficiency of oceanic carbon storage through the production of larger, faster-sinking, and carbon-enriched organic detritus.
