This volume synthesizes the relevant data that is fundamental to
our understanding of trace metal biogeochemistry and the ecology of
biological communities of deep-sea vent systems. It presents the
combined results of biological and geochemical research and
analyzes the microdistribution of animals and the spatial structure
of vent communities. Careful consideration is given to the export
of iron and other trace metals from hydrothermal vents. The
environmental conditions to be found in deep-sea hydrothermal
community habitats, along with the trace metal behavior in biotope
water are characterized and the sources and forms of trace metals
taken up by dominant hydrothermal vent animals are discussed.
Special attention is paid to the poorly investigated deep biosphere
of the sub-seafloor igneous crust. The book is illustrated with a
wealth of exceptional deep-sea photos taken by the manned
submersible "Mir", and a dedicated chapter focuses on the role of
deep manned submersibles in ocean research. The book will be of
interest to researchers and students in the fields of oceanography,
geochemistry, biology, the environmental sciences and marine
ecology.
