A Deep-Sea Sponge Loop? Sponges Transfer Dissolved and Particulate Organic Carbon and Nitrogen to Associated Fauna
Bart, Martijn C.; Hudspith, Meggie; Rapp, Hans Tore; Verdonschot, Piet F. M.; de Goeij, Jasper M. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Cold-water coral reefs and sponge grounds are deep-sea biological hotspots, equivalent to shallow-water tropical coral reefs. In tropical ecosystems, biodiversity and productivity are maintained through efficient recycling ... -
The important role of sponges in carbon and nitrogen cycling in a deep-sea biological hotspot
Hanz, Ulrike; Riekenberg, Philip; de Kluijver, Anna; van der Meer, Marcel; Middelburg, Jack J.; de Goeij, Jasper M.; Bart, Martijn C.; Wurz, Erik; Colaço, Ana; Duineveld, Gerard C.
