Abstract

Marine animal forests (MAFs) are benthic ecosystems characterised by biogenic three-dimensional structures formed by suspension feeders such as corals, gorgonians, sponges and bivalves. They comprise highly diversified communities among the most productive in the world's oceans. However, MAFs are in decline due to global and local stressors that threaten the survival and growth of their foundational species and associated biodiversity. Innovative and scalable interventions are needed to address the degradation of MAFs and increase their resilience under global change. Surprisingly, few studies have considered trophic interactions and heterotrophic feeding of MAF suspension feeders as an integral component of MAF conservation. Yet, trophic interactions are important for nutrient cycling, energy flow within the food web, biodiversity, carbon sequestration, and MAF stability. This comprehensive review describes trophic interactions at all levels of ecological organisation in tropical, temperate, and cold-water MAFs. It examines the strengths and weaknesses of available tools for estimating the heterotrophic capacities of the foundational species in MAFs. It then discusses the threats that climate change poses to heterotrophic processes. Finally, it presents strategies for improving trophic interactions and heterotrophy, which can help to maintain the health and resilience of MAFs.

气候变化时代海洋动物森林的异养现象。

海洋动物森林（MAFs）是一种海底生态系统，其特点是由珊瑚、海贡、海绵和双壳贝等悬浮摄食者形成的生物三维结构。它们由高度多样化的群落组成，是世界上最富饶的海洋之一。然而，由于全球和地方压力因素的影响，MAFs 正在衰退，威胁到其基础物种和相关生物多样性的生存和发展。需要采取创新的、可扩展的干预措施，以解决多物种海洋生态系统的退化问题，并提高其在全球变化中的恢复能力。令人惊讶的是，很少有研究将营养互作和 MAF 悬浮摄食者的异养摄食作为 MAF 保护的一个组成部分。然而，营养相互作用对于营养循环、食物网中的能量流动、生物多样性、碳固存以及 MAF 的稳定性都非常重要。本综述介绍了热带、温带和冷水大型海洋生态系统中各级生态组织中的营养相互作用。它探讨了现有工具在估算多亚森林中基础物种异养能力方面的优缺点。然后讨论了气候变化对异养过程造成的威胁。最后，它提出了改善营养互作和异养过程的策略，这有助于保持多水域生态系统的健康和恢复能力。

期刊介绍： Biological Reviews is a scientific journal that covers a wide range of topics in the biological sciences. It publishes several review articles per issue, which are aimed at both non-specialist biologists and researchers in the field. The articles are scholarly and include extensive bibliographies. Authors are instructed to be aware of the diverse readership and write their articles accordingly. The reviews in Biological Reviews serve as comprehensive introductions to specific fields, presenting the current state of the art and highlighting gaps in knowledge. Each article can be up to 20,000 words long and includes an abstract, a thorough introduction, and a statement of conclusions. The journal focuses on publishing synthetic reviews, which are based on existing literature and address important biological questions. These reviews are interesting to a broad readership and are timely, often related to fast-moving fields or new discoveries. A key aspect of a synthetic review is that it goes beyond simply compiling information and instead analyzes the collected data to create a new theoretical or conceptual framework that can significantly impact the field. Biological Reviews is abstracted and indexed in various databases, including Abstracts on Hygiene & Communicable Diseases, Academic Search, AgBiotech News & Information, AgBiotechNet, AGRICOLA Database, GeoRef, Global Health, SCOPUS, Weed Abstracts, and Reaction Citation Index, among others.
