  abstract = {{L}arge amounts of soot are continuously deposited on the global ocean. {E}ven though significant concentrations of soot particles are found in marine waters, the effects of these aerosols on ocean ecosystems are currently unknown. {U}sing a combination of in situ and experimental data, and results from an atmospheric transport model, we show that the deposition of soot particles from an oil-fired power plant impacted biogeochemical properties and the functioning of the pelagic ecosystem in tropical oligotrophic oceanic waters off {N}ew {C}aledonia. {D}eposition was followed by a major increase in the volume concentration of suspended particles, a change in the particle size spectra that resulted from a stimulation of aggregation processes, a 5% decrease in the concentration of dissolved organic carbon ({DOC}), a decreases of 33 and 23% in viral and free bacterial abundances, respectively, and a factor similar to 2 increase in the activity of particle-attached bacteria suggesting that soot introduced in the system favored bacterial growth. {T}hese patterns were confirmed by experiments with natural seawater conducted with both soot aerosols collected in the study area and standard diesel soot. {T}he data suggest a strong impact of soot deposition on ocean surface particles, {DOC}, and microbial processes, at least near emission hot spots.},
