  "summary": "Hydrostatic pressure is a defining feature of the deep ocean, yet how it structures microbial activity across the subseafloor biosphere is poorly understood. Here, we assess pressure effects on anabolic activity in seafloor and subseafloor communities across a margin-to-hadal-to-abyssal transect of the Puerto Rico Trench region (493-8,385 m water depth). Community-level responses to pressure…",
