英文摘要	The seabed desertification has increasingly highlighted the importance of benthic habitat restoration. Strategically engineered artificial reefs emerges as pivotal in achieving restoration objectives. However, the significant influence of foundation species on biotic components and ecosystem attributes within diverse artificial reefs has been underrecognized. This study collated twenty Ecopath models of artificial reefs and their corresponding natural control ecosystems along the coasts of the Yellow Sea and Bohai Sea, China, categorizing them into five distinct system types predicated on the biomass and productivity of foundational species. Our results suggest that dimensionless indices, rather than actual system values, were posited to facilitate inter-comparative analysis. The comparative analysis revealed differences in biomass distribution, energy utilization, and trophic structure across the five ecosystem types. All the artificial reef systems collectively enhanced the utilization of primary production. Foundation species components formed the cornerstone of system functionality, significantly impacting ecosystem stability through modulation of energy flow dynamics. Distinct impacts were observed from shellfish and macroalgae; the former augmenting the detrital food chain, while the latter bolstering the grazing food chain. Consequently, the model-based integrated analysis enabled a robust comparison among various types of artificial reef ecosystems and confirmed that promoting the colonization of foundation species was a nonnegligible factor in the design and deployment of artificial reefs.
