Scenarios about 'marine ecosystems'
Marine ecosystems encompass the diverse communities of organisms and their physical environments found in oceans, seas, and coastal waters. These complex biological networks support approximately 80% of Earth's biodiversity and provide critical services including food production, carbon sequestration, and climate regulation. Understanding marine ecosystem dynamics is essential for alternate history scenarios exploring different trajectories of human maritime development, resource exploitation, and environmental conservation efforts.
