Spatial Variability of Abyssal Nitrifying Microbes in the North-Eastern Clarion-Clipperton Zone

Spatial Variability of Abyssal Nitrifying Microbes in the North-Eastern Clarion-Clipperton Zone

Abyssal microbes drive biogeochemical cycles, regulate fluxes of energy and contribute to organic carbon production and remineralization. Therefore, characterizing the spatial variability of benthic microbes is important for understanding their roles in benthic environments and for conducting baseli...
