Drivers of Bacterial α- and β-Diversity Patterns and Functioning in Subsurface Hadal Sediments

Oceanic trenches at hadal (>6,000 m) depths are hot spots of organic matter deposition and mineralization and can host abundant and active bacterial assemblages. However, the factors able to shape their biodiversity and functioning remain largely unexplored, especially in subsurface sediments...
