深部生命亮点论文

基于研究成果的重要性和学术影响潜力，五篇“深部生命亮点论文”为：

Gan, S.#*, Heuer, V. B.#, Schmidt, F., Wörmer, L., Wang, F., Adhikari, R. R., ... & Hinrichs, K. U. (2025). Moderate heating renders 7.8-million-year-old sedimentary organic matter bioavailable. Science Advances, 11(34), eadw8638.

For showing that higher temperatures can activate organic matter in deep sediments and make it available for biological activity, with potentially significant implications for the carbon cycle and the limits of deep life.

Jones, D. O. B.*, Arias, M. B., Van Audenhaege, L., Blackbird, S., Boolukos, C., Bribiesca-Contreras, G., ... & Glover, A. G. (2025). Long-term impact and biological recovery in a deep-sea mining track. Nature, 642(8066), 112-118.

For transformative evidence of persistent deep-sea ecosystem impacts four decades after experimental mining, revealing partial biological recovery trajectories and redefining the timescales of ecological resilience in abyssal environments, providing critical environmental insights for global ocean stewardship.

Peng, X.#, Du, M.#*, Gebruk, A., Liu, S., Gao, Z., Glud, R. N., ... Mordukhovich, V.V.# &Adrianov, A. V. (2025). Flourishing chemosynthetic life at the greatest depths of hadal trenches. Nature, 645(8081), 679-685.

For the significant discovery of the deepest and most extensive chemosynthetic ecosystems on Earth within hadal trenches, redefining carbon cycling in the deep biosphere.

Wang, C.#, Zheng, R.#, & Sun, C.* (2025). Deep-sea viral diversity and their role in host metabolism of complex organic matter. Nature Communications, 16(1), 10134.

For pioneering multi-omics elucidation of deep-sea viral roles in reprogramming host metabolism of complex organic matter, revealing unique temperate RNA virus dynamics in nascent cold seeps that redefine viral contributions to subseafloor carbon cycling.

Xiao, X.#*, Zhao, W.#*, Song, Z.#, Qi, Q.#, Wang, B.#, Zhu, J.#, Lin, J.#, Wang, J.#, Hu, A.#, Huang, S.#, ... Zhang, W.*, Han, M.*, Xu, X.*, & Liu, S.*. (2025). Microbial ecosystems and ecological driving forces in the deepest ocean sediments. Cell, 188(5), 1363-1377.

For pioneering the large-scale genomic exploration of Earth's deepest ocean trenches, revealing extraordinary microbial novelty and proving driving forces shapes the unique high-pressure adaptations, advancing deep-sea biology.

思源海洋-深部生命新星

本奖项旨在表彰有杰出学术表现和领导潜力的青年领域研究者。

2025年度两名获奖者分别为上海交通大学赵维殳副研究员和中国科学院广州地球化学研究所吴逍副研究员。

赵维殳

上海交通大学副研究员

For unrevealing fundamental principles of pressure adaptation in Earth's deepest trenches, and establishing foundational frameworks for hadal ecosystem function that bridge extremophile microbiology with planetary habitability research.

吴逍

中国科学院广州地球化学研究所副研究员

For impressive research elucidating the critical role of crustal dynamics and mineral-mediated reactions in sustaining deep subsurface life and shaping Earth's early redox evolution.

我们谨向获奖者表示热烈祝贺，并对他们在深度生命研究方面的重要贡献表示感谢，同时也感谢评选委员会的大力支持。获奖者将被邀请在2026年度IC-DLI研讨会进行专题讲座，敬请期待。
