Burial and Denudation Alter Microbial Life at the Bottom of the Hypo‐Critical Zone

Burial and Denudation Alter Microbial Life at the Bottom of the Hypo‐Critical Zone

Abstract How subsurface microbial life changed at the bottom of the kilometers‐deep (hypo) Critical Zone in response to evolving surface conditions over geologic time is an open question. This study investigates the burial and exhumation, biodegradation, and fluid circulation history of hydrocarbon...
