Relationship of Bacterial Richness to Organic Degradation Rate and Sediment Age in Subseafloor Sediment

Subseafloor sediment hosts a large, taxonomically rich, and metabolically diverse microbial ecosystem. However, the factors that control microbial diversity in subseafloor sediment have rarely been explored. Here, we show that bacterial richness varies with organic degradation rate and sediment age....
