Trophodynamics on mid-ocean ridges
The global mid-ocean ridge (MOR) system is ~60 000 km long and accounts for 9% of the seafloor. Deep-sea organisms living on MOR have two potential energy sources; chemosynthesis and the downward flux of photosynthetic organic matter. This study examines the trophodynamics of benthic fauna collected...
