Giant hydrogen sulfide plume in the oxygen minimum zone off Peru supports chemolithoautotrophy.
In Eastern Boundary Upwelling Systems nutrient-rich waters are transported to the ocean surface, fuelling high photoautotrophic primary production. Subsequent heterotrophic decomposition of the produced biomass increases the oxygen-depletion at intermediate water depths, which can result in the form...
