| The objective of this study is to describe the chemical and physical environment surrounding the vent organisms at the Genesis site (EPR, 2640 m). The main chimney is colonized by Riftia pachyptila, fishes Zoarcidae and crabs Bythograeidae. The top of the smoker is covered with tubes of polychaetes Alvinellidae, the frontier zone by limpet gastropods. Temperature measurements and water sampling were made on an axis along the chimney. The environment was characterized using relationships between chemical concentrations and temperature to provide a chemo-thermal model of the site. Discrete temperature ranges were 1-1.6 degrees C in sea water, 1.6-10 degrees C among Riftia plumes (up to 25 degrees C at the tube base), 7-91 degrees C close to the alvinellid... |

| Through the deep ocean, hydrothermal plumes disperse high concentrations of key chemical tracers including He-3, CH4, Mn, Fe, H2S, etc. This paper focuses on the distribution and behavior of total dissolved sulfide (sulfide hereafter) in hydrothermal plumes to show that its plume concentration decreases to subnanomolar a few kilometers from the vents. We also report on sulfide removal rates determined at in situ conditions; we observe that they are two orders of magnitude greater than for open ocean seawater, consistent with sulfide being detected only in the vicinity of hydrothermal vents. From our observations, we infer that the sole presence of sulfide in hydrothermal plumes locates active venting at the kilometer scale. |

| Los sedimentos superficiales de las bahías de Cárdenas y Santa Clara fueron muestreados en mayo de 2002 y julio de 2005, evaluándose los parámetros orgánicos e inorgánicos que tienen mayor peso en los ciclos biogeoquímicos (carbón, nitrógeno, fósforo, carbonatos, sulfuro de hidrógeno y consumo de oxidante químico). Los sedimentos de las bahías de Cárdenas y Santa Clara, poseen notables contenidos de carbón orgánico y concentraciones de nitrógeno inferiores a 0,2 %, evidenciando que la fuente principal de materia orgánica en estos cuerpos de agua es la vegetación periférica y acuática, rica en carbono y pobre en nitrógeno. En estas bahías las concentraciones promedio de carbonatos son superiores al 35 %, aunque la mayor riqueza corresponde a la bahía de... |
