Because it is a proof of concept, more improvement are needed to be added to the model in order to observe the impacts on the biogeochemistry of the diapause trait. Nevertheless a few of them can be expected. Darnis et al. (2012) estimated that the carbon transport related to diapausing Calanus species in the Amundsen Gulf was of the same order as the detritus carbon flux present in the area. As shown in her study, Jonasdottir et al. (2015) explains how diapausing copepods brings surface carbon towards the depths where it will be respire during the harsh season. This flux of carbon has been called the lipid pump. Compared to the biological pump which is the sinking of biogenic particles towards the depth, the active transport associated with the ontogenic migration of the lipid pump skips the microbial remineralisation happening while the particles sink. Another expected impact on the biogeochemistry from the diapause functional trait is due to the high surface nitrogen excretion related to the accumulation of lipids (lipid shunt, Jonasdottir et al. 2015). By doing so they could allow a remineralisation of nitrogen which is known to be the limiting nutrient in the Canadian Arctic (Tremblay et al. 2015).
