Abstract

Marine forests are vital ecosystems that underpin biodiversity and human well-being. Despite their ecological significance, these habitats remain underrepresented in policy frameworks and are increasingly threatened by anthropogenic pressures. Effective conservation and restoration efforts require a system-level understanding of the dynamic interactions between human activities and ecological components.
