TL;DR: This biomass census and associated maps are vital components of mechanistic deep-sea food web models and global carbon cycling, and as such provide fundamental information that can be incorporated into evidence-based management.

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the annual loss of organic matter from continental shelf ecosystems is far greater than in the open ocean, and that part of the loss of nearshore primary production has increased in those coastal zones where anthropogenic inorganic nutrient supplies have been consistently increasing since the industrial revolution.

TL;DR: The availability of inorganic nutrients is usually attributed to the proximity of fresh-water runoff or to coastal upwelling and deep water advection1,2,3 as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: Overall patterns in the megafauna are similar to those described in other groups and areas, but species assemblages are not the same everywhere and perhaps too much has been made of the horizontal extent of zones.
