Expanding our view of the cold-water coral niche and accounting of the ecosystem services of the reef habitat
Abstract Coral reefs are iconic ecosystems that support diverse, productive communities in both shallow and deep waters. However, our incomplete knowledge of cold-water coral (CWC) niche space limits our understanding of their distribution and precludes a complete accounting of the ecosystem service...
