• Biodiversity of cold seep ecosystems along the European margins (2009, background): “This high spatial variability at scales of tens to hundreds of meters has been attributed to the magnitude of fluid flow and the correlated chemical depth profiles (Henry et al., 1992; Barry et al., 1997; Olu et al. 1997; Sahling et al., 2002; Levin et al., 2003; de Beer et al., 2006).”
