Carbon and nitrogen cycling across the bathyal continental margins : oxygen availability and organic matter quality as controls upon sediment community activity
The bathyal continental margins (200 – 3000 m) account for 7 % of global sea floor area, but are responsible for recycling 30 % of sedimentary organic matter (OM) within the oceans. Climate-change driven expansion of oxygen minimum zones and increasing frequency of extreme weather events (storms) ma...
