The deep sea encompasses the largest ecosystems on Earth. Although poorly known, deep
seafloor ecosystems provide services that are vitally important to the entire ocean and …

The deep sea is amongst the most food‐limited habitats on Earth, as only a small fraction (<
4%) of the surface primary production is exported below 200 m water depth. Here, cold …

The deep sea plays a critical role in global climate regulation through uptake and storage of
heat and carbon dioxide. However, this regulating service causes warming, acidification and …

Organic carbon processing at the seafloor is studied by biogeochemists to quantify burial
and respiration, by organic geochemists to elucidate compositional changes and by …

Circulation patterns in the North Atlantic Ocean have changed and re-organized multiple
times over millions of years, influencing the biodiversity, distribution, and connectivity …

The deep sea is the most extensive habitat on our planet, and it supports surprisingly high
biodiversity. With a multitude of different environments and conditions previously thought to …

Submarine canyons are associated with increased biodiversity, including cold-water coral
(CWC) colonies and reefs which are features of high conservation value that are under …

We, the Haíłzaqv, Kitasoo Xai'xais, Nuxalk and Wuikinuxv First Nations, are the traditional
stewards of our territories in the Central Coast of British Columbia, Canada. Our traditional …

Complexity theory predicts that self‐organized, regularly patterned ecosystems store more
biomass and are more resilient than spatially uniform systems. Self‐organized ecosystems …

Cold-water corals (CWCs) are important ecosystem engineers in the deep sea that provide
habitat for numerous species and can form large coral mounds. These mounds influence …
