Maan uumenista paljastui huikea elämän runsaus
Uuden arvion mukaan maapallon kaikista bakteereista ja arkeoneista 70 prosenttia elää maanpinnan alla. Puolentoista kilometrin syvyydestä on löydetty jopa pieniä matoja. Maan pinnan alla oleva syvä biosfääri on tilavuudeltaan lähes kaksi kertaa suurempi kuin kaikki valtameret yhteensä.
