中国科学家在太平洋深渊发现最深化能生态系统
编辑者: Tetiana Martynovska 17
一支由中国科学家领导的国际研究团队在西北太平洋的千岛-堪察加和阿留申海沟的深渊区域,发现了迄今为止记录到的最深处的化能生态系统。该发现是在2025年7月进行的一次为期40天的深海探测中取得的,研究团队乘坐“奋斗者”号载人潜水器,在深度高达9,533米的区域进行了探索。
这些新发现的生态系统主要由管状蠕虫和蛤类组成,它们依靠从海底渗出的甲烷和硫化氢等化学物质获取能量,这一过程被称为化能合成。这一发现颠覆了生命在极端深度生存能力的认知,并为理解生命在严酷环境中的适应性提供了新的视角。研究结果已发表在《自然》杂志上,表明类似的化能合成群落可能比科学家们之前预期的更为普遍。这些发现对生命极限和深海碳循环的模型提出了挑战,并为寻找地外生命提供了重要线索。
