Abstract in brief

  • * Mining for these minerals typically leads to biodiversity loss, prompting the exploration of deep seabed mining as an alternative, despite limited comparative studies on environmental impact between land-based and seabed mining.
  • * A new framework called the Environmental Impact Wheel is proposed for assessing mining's ecosystem impacts, incorporating multiple attributes and indicators, with steps to facilitate holistic and targeted environmental comparisons.
