Major fine-scale spatial heterogeneity in accumulation of gelatinous carbon fluxes on the deep seabed

Major fine-scale spatial heterogeneity in accumulation of gelatinous carbon fluxes on the deep seabed

Abyssal plain communities rely on the overlying water column for a settling flux of organic matter. The origin and rate of this flux as well as the controls on its fine-scale spatial distribution following seafloor settlement are largely unquantified. This is particularly true across regions where a...
