To do so, food-web models of the ecosystem under three scenarios were constructed to investigate the effect caused by the OWF of added substrate (reef effect), fishing restriction (reserve effect), and their combined effect. Further, Ecological Network Analysis indices and Mean Trophic Level were derived to investigate their suitability for detecting changes in the ecosystem state. Our analysis suggests changes in the ecosystem structure and functioning after the OWF construction, the ecosystem maturity was predicted to increase, but no alterations in its overall resilience capacity. specialized Ecopath with Ecosim Ecological Network Analysis Reef effect Reserve effect Mean Trophic Level Marine renewable energy FRANCE SEINE BAIE MANCHE 021 036 020 96 1 728-738 2019 1470-160X https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010075605 10.1016/j.ecolind.2018.07.014 1470-160X [F B010075605] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010075605 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/intranet/publi/2019/05/010075605.pdf Accès réservé (Intranet de l'IRD) IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2019-06-04 2025-02-24 fdi:010075605 fre
