from the deepest sea trenches to the water’s surface, where they get caught in algae. Microplastics can then block phytoplankton from receiving enough sunlight to survive. (Additionally ...

Traces of organisms detected in sediments from 7.5 kilometers below the ocean surface reveal how organisms living in the deep sea are engineering their own environments. Analyses of sediment cores ...

54, No. 6, Nov., 2009 Effects of Phytoplankton Community on Pr... We recorded vertical profiles of size distributions of large particles (>100 μm) to a 1000-m depth in the Atlantic, Indian, and ...

Organisms in the deep sea rely on gravity flows to lay down sediment and then make burrows beneath the seafloor, according to a new study.

These huge blooms sink to the sea floor when the plankton die, transporting carbon to the deep sea and helping to fight climate change. While plankton blooms like this are usually natural ...

[New Paper] Meet Delectopecten thermus, a new species of Glass Scallop from a deep-sea hot vent in Okinawa Trough, Japan! We ...

Some plankton combine calcium and dissolved carbonates ... the carbon in their carcasses can create a feast for deep-sea critters and also be buried in marine sediments. Ocean deposits are by ...
