Much remains unknown about deep-sea ecosystems. In a recent open-access paper, an international team of researchers propose a preliminary hypothesis that polymetallic nodules may play a role in deep-sea oxygen production. If confirmed upon further investigation, this discovery would have implications for deep-sea mining activities.
