  abstract = {{M}arine animal forests ({MAF}s) are benthic ecosystems characterised by biogenic three-dimensional structures formed by suspension feeders such as corals, gorgonians, sponges and bivalves. {T}hey comprise highly diversified communities among the most productive in the world's oceans. {H}owever, {MAF}s are in decline due to global and local stressors that threaten the survival and growth of their foundational species and associated biodiversity. {I}nnovative and scalable interventions are needed to address the degradation of {MAF}s and increase their resilience under global change. {S}urprisingly, few studies have considered trophic interactions and heterotrophic feeding of {MAF} suspension feeders as an integral component of {MAF} conservation. {Y}et, trophic interactions are important for nutrient cycling, energy flow within the food web, biodiversity, carbon sequestration, and {MAF} stability. {T}his comprehensive review describes trophic interactions at all levels of ecological organisation in tropical, temperate, and cold-water {MAF}s. {I}t examines the strengths and weaknesses of available tools for estimating the heterotrophic capacities of the foundational species in {MAF}s. {I}t then discusses the threats that climate change poses to heterotrophic processes. {F}inally, it presents strategies for improving trophic interactions and heterotrophy, which can help to maintain the health and resilience of {MAF}s.},
