Macrofaunal burrowing enhances deep-sea carbonate lithification on the Southwest Indian Ridge
<p>Deep-sea carbonates represent an important type of sedimentary rock due to their effect on the composition of the upper oceanic crust and their contribution to deep-sea geochemical cycles. However, the role of deep-sea macrofauna in carbonate lithification remains poorly understood. A l...
