Journal ArticleDOI
The deep sea is a major sink for microplastic debris
Lucy C. Woodall,Anna Sanchez-Vidal,Miquel Canals,Gordon L.J. Paterson,Rachel L. Coppock,Victoria A. Sleight,A. Calafat,Alex Rogers,Bhavani Narayanaswamy,Richard C. Thompson +9 more
TL;DR: It is shown that deep-sea sediments are a likely sink for microplastics, and the dominance of microfibres points to a previously underreported and unsampled plastic fraction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Deep, diverse and definitely different: unique attributes of the world's largest ecosystem
Eva Ramirez-Llodra,Angelika Brandt,Roberto Danovaro,B. De Mol,Elva Escobar,Christopher R. German,Lisa A. Levin,P. Martinez Arbizu,Lenaick Menot,Pål Buhl-Mortensen,Bhavani Narayanaswamy,Craig R. Smith,Derek P. Tittensor,Paul A. Tyler,Ann Vanreusel,Michael Vecchione +15 more
TL;DR: A review of deep-sea habitats and their fauna can be found in this paper, where the authors discuss threats from anthropogenic activities to deep sea habitats and faunal communities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Global Patterns and Predictions of Seafloor Biomass Using Random Forests
Chih-Lin Wei,Gilbert T. Rowe,Elva Escobar-Briones,Antje Boetius,Thomas Soltwedel,M. Julian Caley,Yousria Soliman,Falk Huettmann,Fangyuan Qu,Zishan Yu,C. Roland Pitcher,Richard L. Haedrich,Mary K.

TL;DR: This biomass census and associated maps are vital components of mechanistic deep-sea food web models and global carbon cycling, and as such provide fundamental information that can be incorporated into evidence-based management.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microplastic Pollution Identified in Deep-Sea Water and Ingested by Benthic Invertebrates in the Rockall Trough, North Atlantic Ocean
TL;DR: This study presents the first snapshot of deep ocean microplastics and the quantification of microplastic pollution in the Rockall Trough and identifies processes of vertical re-distribution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ecosystem function and services provided by the deep sea
Andrew R. Thurber,Andrew K. Sweetman,Bhavani Narayanaswamy,Daniel O.B. Jones,Jeroen Ingels,Roberta L. Hansman +5 more
TL;DR: The deep ocean is often viewed as a vast, dark, re- mote, and inhospitable environment, yet the deep ocean and seafloor are crucial to our lives through the services that they provide as discussed by the authors.
