Unveiling in situ oxygen, carbon and nutrient cycling of a sponge-driven biological hotspot in the arctic

Abstract Deep-sea sponge grounds are habitat-forming benthic communities characterized by high biomass and structural complexity. Despite their ecological significance, their role for the deep-sea environment remains poorly understood and their functioning is often inferred from ex situ studies. We...
