Article Synopsis
- Researchers found that the subseafloor crust harbors not only microbes and viruses, but also animals like the giant tubeworm Riftia pachyptila, suggesting a link between seafloor and subseafloor ecosystems.
- The study proposes that tubeworm larvae may travel through the hydrothermal vent fluid rather than dispersing in the open water.
- The discovery of these animals in the subseafloor has significant implications for understanding geochemical processes and highlights the necessity of protecting these habitats, which are not yet fully understood.
The global decline of brown algal forests along rocky coasts is causing an exceptional biodiversity loss. Regardless of conservation efforts, different techniques have been developed for large-scale restoration strategies in the Mediterranean Sea. In this study we tested ex situ pilot restoration of (=) for the first time in Slovenian coastal waters.
