Published online by Cambridge University Press: 23 September 2024 Communities of swimming microorganisms often thrive near liquid–air interfaces. We study how such ‘active carpets’ shape their aquatic environment by driving biogenic transport in the water column beneath them. The hydrodynamic stirring that active carpets generate leads to diffusive upward fluxes of nutrients from deeper water layers, and downward fluxes of oxygen and carbon. Combining analytical theory and simula
