Cold seeps are globally widespread seafloor ecosystems that feature abundant methane
production and flourishing chemotrophic benthic communities. Chemical evidence indicates …

Although coastal sediments are major contributors to the production of atmospheric
methane, the effects of environmental conditions on methanogenesis and the community of …

Cold seep ecosystems are developed from methane-rich fluids in organic rich continental
slopes, which are the source of various dense microbial and faunal populations. Extensive …

Cold seeps are widespread chemosynthetic ecosystems in the deep-sea environment, and
cold seep microbial communities of the South China Sea are poorly constrained. Here we …

Methane seeps are widespread seafloor ecosystems shaped by complex physicochemical-
biological interactions over geological timescales, and seep microbiomes play a vital role in …

Background Coastal environments are dynamic and rapidly changing. Living organisms in
coastal environments are known to synthesise large quantities of organic osmolytes, which …

Methane, a major greenhouse gas, plays an important role in global carbon cycling and
climate change. Methanogenesis is identified as an important process for methane formation …

Cold seeps are highly productive chemosynthetic ecosystems in the deep-sea environment.
Although microbial communities affected by methane seepage have been extensively …

Deep‐sea environments are the largest ecosystem of the global biosphere and constitute a
crucial role in global biogeochemical cycles. We integrated biogeochemical and molecular …

Marine cold seeps are unique chemosynthetic habitats fuelled by deeply sourced
hydrocarbon‐rich fluids discharged at the seafloor. Through oxidizing methane and other …
