[0002] The deep-sea polymetallic nodule mining area is not only an important reserve of mineral resources, but also an important part of the deep-sea ecosystem. Due to the uniqueness of the deep-sea environment, the ecological elements such as biological communities, water quality, and sediments in the mining area are highly dependent on special natural conditions. The stability of the ecosystem has a profound impact on the entire marine ecology. However, with the increasing mining activities of polymetallic nodule resources, the ecosystem in the mining area is facing problems such as declining biodiversity, sediment pollution, and deteriorating water quality.
