The main aim of ChEss is to determine the biogeography of deep water chemosynthetic Deep sea communities ecosystems at a global scale and to understand the processes driving these ecosystems. ChEss addresses the main questions of CoML on diversity, abundance and distribution of marine species, focusing on deep water reducing environments such as hydrothermal vent s, cold seep s, whale fall s, sunken wood and areas of low oxygen that intersect with continental margin s and seamount s. Background main deep sea deep sea exploration hydrothermal vent cold seep whale fall Deep sea hydrothermal vents and their associated fauna were first discovered along the Galapagos Rift in the eastern Pacific in 1977. Vents are now known to occur along all active mid ocean ridges and back arc spreading centres, from fast to ultra slow spreading ridges. The interest in chemosynthetic environments was strengthened by the discovery of chemosynthetic based fauna at cold seeps along the base of the Florida Escarpment in 1983.

A biotone is a biogeography biogeographical region characterised not by distinctive biota but rather by a distinctive transition from one set of biota to another. They often contain the limits of distribution of the biota of neighbouring regions. Biotones are especially useful in Marine ocean marine biogeography, where the movement of water may result in substantial overlap in the floral and faunal components of adjacent regions. In such case the regions of overlap is considered a biotone. A simple example would be mid latitude waters where tropical and temperate waters mix. This region is a biotone characterised by the transition between tropical and temperate. It would contain both tropical and temperate biota. Tropical biota that do not extend into temperate areas would be at the limit of their range in this biotone, and vice versa. The co occurrence of biota that are normally distinct can result in unusual ecological relationships. References Unreferenced date February 2008 ecoregion stub Category Biogeography ... more details
