Abstract
Hadal trenches represent the deepest oceanic realm and were once considered to be deprived of life. However, trenches act as important depocenters for organic matter with highly elevated microbial activity. In this forum, we discuss the biogeochemistry of the hadal realm and its microbial communities thriving at extreme hydrostatic pressure.
