Impact of Terrestrial Input on Deep-Sea Benthic Archaeal Community Structure in South China Sea Sediments

Archaea are widespread in marine sediments and play important roles in the cycling of sedimentary organic carbon. However, factors controlling the distribution of archaea in marine sediments are not well understood. Here we investigated benthic archaeal communities over glacial-interglacial cycles i...
