Scenario simulations of marine ecosystem health on China’s coast

Global climate change and extensive human activity put compounding pressure on coastal marine ecosystems, resulting in habitat degradation, a reduction in ecosystem services, and an increase in marine ecosystem disasters. Therefore, simulating the response of ecosystem health conditions to climate change and different human activity scenarios can provide direct and effective information to improve ecologically sound management strategies for the sustainable use and development of coastal areas. In the present work, we set up a scenario simulation model using machine learning methods. Individual and integrated scenarios of Climate change and human activity impact were designed to predict the possible responses of marine ecosystem health conditions.
