• Benthic zoneBroader topic: It is a vast deep-sea benthic habitat with sparse food supply.

• Continental shelfRelated: It is one of the deep-sea regions beyond the shelf and continental margin.

• Deep-sea miningRelated: Nodule fields on abyssal plains support distinctive, slow-growing communities.

• Deep-sea ecologyRelated: These extensive plains host communities adapted to sparse, patchy food inputs.

• Deep seaBroader topic: It represents the extensive deep seabed beyond dramatic ridges and trenches.

• Continental slopeRelated: This deep seafloor lies beyond the slope and often the continental rise.

• Abyssal zoneBroader topic: These plains make up much of the seafloor within the abyssal zone.

• Carbonate compensation depthCompared with: Abyssal plains may lie below the boundary, where carbonate sediment is poorly preserved.

• Benthic ecologyBroader topic: Its sparse food supply and vast area make it a distinctive deep-sea benthic system.

• Deep-sea biodiversityBroader topic: These vast, food-poor plains host widespread communities distinct from vent and seep hotspots.

• Marine habitatBroader topic: Its vast, food-poor seafloor contrasts with compact, resource-rich coastal habitats.

• Deep-sea benthosRelated: Abyssal plains make up extensive habitat for deep-sea bottom organisms.

• Continental riseRelated: The rise generally grades seaward into this flatter deep-ocean region.

• Manganese noduleNarrower topic: Nodules are scattered across these deep seafloor landscapes.

• Marine benthic zoneBroader topic: It exemplifies the vast, low-relief seabed of the deep benthic zone.

• Antarctic toothfishRelated: Deep-sea records of toothfish show that its habitat can extend toward the ocean's deepest zones.

• OphidiiformesRelated: Abyssal surveys record ophidiiforms living and feeding on deep seafloor habitats.

• Oceanic basinBroader topic: It forms some of the broadest and flattest surfaces within a basin.

• SeabedBroader topic: It is one of the seabed’s most extensive deep-water landforms.

• Deep-sea communityRelated: Its sparse, widespread fauna typifies life under low and intermittent food supply.

• Scotoplanes globosaRelated: Such sedimented plains are among the seafloor habitats occupied by sea pigs.
