Summary:Ocean vertical and deep-sea transports sever as dominant pathways for the interaction between climate environment and deep oceans, and essential channel mechanisms for the deposition, storage, transport of land, atmosphere and surface ocean material and energy into and release from the deep sea, which profoundly shape the full depth marine environmental ecology and the process of global climatic and environmental changes. Focusing on the upper ocean ventilation process, the vertical diapycnal mixing of the intermediate and deep oceans, and the abyssal and benthic ocean transport, this paper summarizes the vertical transport of the ocean and the deep sea transport, and also evaluates their impactions on the ocean climate and environmental ecology. Then research suggestions on the current research status and limitations were put forward. The results show that ocean vertical and deep-sea transports exert critical feedback to and far-reaching influence on climate and environmental change, and act as fundamental d
