The northeastern Pacific abyssal plain

Deep seafloor communities are shaped by a number of key parameters that directly affect the nature and abundance of living organisms and their interactions with seafloor geochemistry. These parameters include (a) substratum type, (b) near-bottom hydrodynamic regime, (c) bottom-water oxygen concentration, (d) sinking particulate-organic-carbon (POC) flux, and (e) sediment redox conditions. Below, we describe these parameters and their variation in the northeastern abyssal Pacific. [Pg.208]

Due to the overarching significance of POC flux in shaping abyssal communities, our discussion of the Northeastern Pacific abyssal plain ecosystem is organized into sections on the eutrophic, mesotrophic and oligotrophic abyss. [Pg.213]
