Assessing condition and ecological role of deep-water biogenic habitats: Glass sponge reefs in the Salish Sea

Biogenic habitats play important roles in shallow-water ecosystems, but their roles in deeper waters are less well-studied. We quantitatively assessed 19 glass sponge reefs in the Salish Sea for live reef-building sponge cover and biodiversity, explored potential drivers behind variation observed am...
