Conceptual model of microbial succession at different stages of hydrothermal chimney evolution. The characteristics of physical–chemical conditions, microbial population, and involved geochemical processes are included. The data of early stage (A) and inactive stage (C) come from our present study and mature stage (B) depends mainly on previous work (Li et al., 2014).
