Abstract

that reveal novel species with an unexpectedly high density, outcrops of mantle and basaltic rocks, and anthropogenic pollutants at the deepest point of the world's ocean. We advocate that the hydration of the hadal lithosphere is a driving force that influences a variety of sedimentary, geochemical, and biological processes in the hadal trench. Hadal lithosphere might host the Earth's deepest subsurface microbial ecosystem. Future research, combined with technological advances and international cooperation, should focus on establishing the intrinsic linkage of the geology, biology, and environment of the hadal trenches.

  • Since the concept of ECLSS was formally proposed by NASA, a series of ecosystems have been developed to simulate the lives of humans in the planet cabin environment by providing necessary survival resources for a period of time.

    From Energy system and resource utilization in space: A state-of-the-art review (2024) · cites this paper as [49]

    The Introduction and “Food utilization strategy” section discuss hadal-ocean research and food sources for deep-sea organisms, not systems for sustaining humans in spacecraft. Searches for ECLSS, NASA, and simulated cabin ecosystems found no passage addressing the claim in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.77)

  • These ecosystems mainly include ECLSS and CELSS by NASA, BIOS series by Soviet Union/Russia, MELiSSA by ESA, CELSS Integrated Experimental Platform and Lunar Palace by China, and CEEF by Japan.

    “These ecosystems mainly include ECLSS and Controlled Ecological Life-Support System (CELSS) by NASA, BIOS series by Soviet Union/Russia, Micro-Ecological Life Support System Alternative (MELiSSA) by European Space Agency (ESA), CELSS Integrated Experimental Platform and Lunar Palace by China, and Closed Ecological Experimental Facility (CEEF) by Japan. 47-52”

    From Energy system and resource utilization in space: A state-of-the-art review (2024) · cites this paper as [49]

    The Introduction (page not provided) discusses hadal-trench research programs, not closed ecological life-support systems. Searches for CELSS, MELiSSA, Lunar Palace, BIOS, and related life-support terms found no passage addressing the listed systems or their national affiliations. (LLM, conf=0.76)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
