海洋森林是一个通常用于沿海海洋栖息地的术语,由密集的棕色大型藻类组成,通常由海带和岩藻组成。这些栖息地生产力很高,为许多海洋生物提供栖息地,并支持一系列宝贵的生态系统服务。尽管海洋森林很重要,但由于全球、区域和地方规模的压力因素相互作用,世界许多地区的海洋森林正在减少。因此,恢复作为一种工具,以减轻这些下降和恢复海洋forests.Recent评论提供了深入了解海洋森林恢复的兴趣正在增长,但是,在大多数情况下,恢复成功的综合缺乏。对已发表的海洋森林恢复工作进行了Meta分析和定量审查,以研究:(i)恢复如何影响海洋森林物种的丰度和形态;(ii)海洋森林恢复成功的趋势。对25项研究的Meta分析显示,恢复对海洋森林物种的丰度和形态产生了积极影响。63项研究的定量评价表明,类群和恢复技术是影响恢复成功的重要因素,并揭示了对丰度和形态响应变量的监测和报告的偏见。审查还强调,缺乏监测和/或报告的环境变量在恢复网站,和有限的比较研究跨环境背景和恢复的物种,它表明,成功的海洋森林恢复是可能的,在实验规模,但更好地监测和报告的恢复工作,随着项目的持续时间增加,可以提高我们的理解在生态系统一级的恢复成功。还提供了今后海洋森林恢复工作的考虑因素。希望这次审查将推动海洋森林恢复工作,使这些宝贵的生态系统及其相关服务得到保护。
Marine forests is a term commonly used for coastal marine habitats formed by dense stands of brown macroalgae, typically consisting of kelp and fucoids. These habitats are highly productive, offer habitat to numerous marine organisms, and support a range of invaluable ecosystem services. Despite their importance, marine forests are declining in many regions around the world as a result of interacting global, regional, and local‐scale stressors. Consequently, interest in restoration as a tool to mitigate these declines and reinstate marine forests is growing.Recent reviews have provided insights into marine forest restoration; however, for the most part, a synthesis of restoration success is lacking. A meta‐analysis and quantitative review of published marine forest restoration efforts was conducted to examine: (i) how restoration affects the abundance and morphology of marine forest species; and (ii) trends in marine forest restoration success.The meta‐analysis of 25 studies revealed that restoration positively influences the abundance and morphology of marine forest species. The quantitative review of 63 studies demonstrated that taxa and restoration technique were important factors influencing restoration success, and revealed a bias towards the monitoring and reporting of abundance and morphological response variables. The review also highlighted a lack of monitoring and/or reporting of environmental variables at restoration sites, and limited comparative research across environmental contexts and restored species.It is shown that successful marine forest restoration is possible at experimental scales, but that better monitoring and reporting of restoration efforts, alongside increased project durations, could improve our understanding of restoration success at the ecosystem level. Considerations for future marine forest restoration efforts are also provided. It is hoped that the review will advance marine forest restoration efforts, allowing the preservation of these valuable ecosystems and their associated services.
