Shallow-water Hydrothermal Vents in the Gulf of Naples: Microbial Diversity
Introduction Shallow-water hydrothermal vents—those located below 200 meters in tectonically active regions—are dynamic, underexplored ecosystems. In the Gulf of Naples, Italy, two underwater volcanic regions offer a natural laboratory to study how geochemical processes interact with microbial life. One vent area sits under the influence of the Somma-Vesuvio volcano, while the other lies within the…

Gulf of Naples Shallow-Water Vents: Microbial Diversity
Introduction Shallow-water hydrothermal vents, occurring below 200 meters in tectonically active regions, host dynamic ecosystems shaped by geochemical fluids as much as by geology. In the Gulf of Naples, Italy, two underwater volcanic regions offer a natural laboratory for studying how fluid chemistry and geological settings influence microbial life. One site lies under the influence…

Shallow-water Hydrothermal Vents in the Gulf of Naples: Geochemistry and Microbial Diversity
Introduction Shallow-water hydrothermal vents, situated below 200 meters in tectonically active regions, are dynamic ecosystems where fluid chemistry and geology intersect to shape microbial life. In the Gulf of Naples, Italy, two underwater volcanic regions present distinct geochemical signatures influenced by their hosting structures: one under the Somma-Vesuvio volcanic system and the other within the…
