I wonder how far down this diversity goes. Perhaps the outer few km of the entire planet. That'd be very hard to kill off.
Is there a prose-free science version? What is the information content of the article?
It's actually pretty good reporting. I'd give it a full read.

There's enough details dropped about experiment durations, species counts, and references to the techniques used to measure that if you've already got a background in the field, you can infer quite a lot; and if you don't, you can skip those details.

What good reporting should be, in other words: a summary valid for a wide audience.
