## Resource

Professor Ronnie N. Glud shares how hadal trenches are dynamic deep-sea hotspots of intensified microbial activity and diversity. Discover how these extreme environments act as crucial carbon depocenters, accumulating organic material (and surprising levels of pollutants), and their vital role in element cycling. The key is the adaptability of generalist microbes and the key role of viruses for horizontal gene flow.
