The paper shows archaea, specifically Bathyarchaeia, dominate deep sediments by prioritizing maintenance over growth, leading to long-term organic carbon preservation.

This study shows that seabed ecosystems rapidly collapse and form a methane biofilter after methane leakage from hydrates, with significant microbial and macrofaunal changes.

This study examines methane-cycling archaea in continental margin sediments, finding that community structure and metabolism change with depth and environmental factors like organic matter and sulfate concentration.
