Major impacts of climate change on deep-sea benthic ecosystems
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 …

Changing ocean, marine ecosystems, and dependent communities
The ocean is a key component of the Earth system (Chapter 1) as it provides essential life
supporting services (Inniss et al. 2017). For example, it stores heat trapped in the …

Abyssal plain faunal carbon flows remain depressed 26 years after a simulated deep-sea mining disturbance
Future deep-sea mining for polymetallic nodules in abyssal plains will negatively impact the
benthic ecosystem, but it is largely unclear whether this ecosystem will be able to recover …

Polymetallic nodules are essential for food-web integrity of a prospective deep-seabed mining area in Pacific abyssal plains
Polymetallic nodule fields provide hard substrate for sessile organisms on the abyssal
seafloor between 3000 and 6000 m water depth. Deep-seabed mining targets these mineral …

Key role of bacteria in the short‐term cycling of carbon at the abyssal seafloor in a low particulate organic carbon flux region of the eastern Pacific Ocean
The cycling of carbon (C) by benthic organisms is a key ecosystem function in the deep sea.
Pulse‐chase experiments are designed to quantify this process, yet few studies have been …
