Comparison of the Vertical Distribution of Nematodes from Two Contrasting Abyssal Sites in the Northeast Atlantic Subject to Different Seasonal Inputs of Phytodetritus
Abstract The vertical distribution of nematodes in the sediments of three cores from the phytodetritus‐influenced Porcupine Abyssal Plain station is compared with three cores from the Madeira Abyssal Plain station in the DEEPSEAS programme. Nematode vertical distributions are compared with sediment...
