Field projects on continental margins worldwide |
Highlights |
The COMARGE project came up with the acknowledgement that the biodiversity of continental margins can not be assessed nor understood without considering their structural and functional complexity. Indeed, during the past few decades, our understanding of deep continental-margin habitats has changed more than for any other large area of Earth. Once envisioned as monotonous landscapes, continental margins are now acknowledged to have a high degree of complexity and diversity. Fundamental patterns of species distribution first observed and explained in the context of monotonous slopes must now be re-evaluated in light of the newly recognized heterogeneity. |
