Nematodes are among the most abundant organisms on Earth, and have important roles in
terrestrial, freshwater, and marine ecosystems. Free-living marine nematodes have been …

Remote deep-ocean sediment (DOS) ecosystems are among the least explored biomes on
Earth. Genomic assessments of their biodiversity have failed to separate indigenous benthic …

Background Ferromanganese nodule-bearing deep-sea sediments cover vast areas of the
ocean floor, representing a distinctive habitat in the abyss. These sediments harbor unique …

The deep ocean comprises complex ecosystems made up of numerous community and
habitat types that provide multiple services that benefit humans. As the industrialization of …

Deep-sea ecosystems are reservoirs of biodiversity that are largely unexplored, but their
exploration and biodiscovery are becoming a reality thanks to biotechnological advances …

Abstract The Deepwater Horizon (DWH) blowout and oil spill began on April 20, 2010 in the
northern Gulf of Mexico (NGOM) deep sea (1525 m). Previous studies documented an …

Ecosystem functioning, ie the transfer of material through a system, supports the ecosystem
services deep-sea sediments provide, including carbon sequestration, nutrient regeneration …

The aim of the current work was to investigate the impact of marine aquaculture on seafloor
biogeochemistry and diversity from pristine environments in the northern part of Norway. Our …

Managing deep-sea mining is challenging due to limited data on species and habitat
distribution, hindering decision-making. In less-explored polymetallic nodule sites in the …

Abyssal microbes drive biogeochemical cycles, regulate fluxes of energy and contribute to
organic carbon production and remineralization. Therefore, characterizing the spatial …
