Hadal Chemosynthesis
Hadal Chemosynthesis is a biochemical process distinct from photosynthesis in which microorganisms in the hadal zone (6,000–11,000 m depth) utilize reduced chemical compounds from geological sources, such as methane and hydrogen sulfide, to fix carbon dioxide into organic matter, thereby supporting endemic deep-sea ecosystems independent of surface-derived energy.
