Abstract Synopsis

  • Ecological network analysis indicators from marine food web models can serve as potential indicators of environmental health, helping to understand impacts like climate change, pollution, and overfishing.
  • The study found that certain indicators are consistent across different model constructions, and there are notable differences in ecosystem complexity and energy flow between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, as well as among various ecosystem types such as coral reefs and estuaries.
  • Key ecological roles include high trophic level species (keystone groups) mainly exerting top-down control, with variations in energy transfer efficiency and biomass across different marine environments.]
