Optimizing seagrass planting arrangements for animal benefits in a multihabitat restoration seascape.

ABSTRACT: Restoring lost and degraded ecosystems to enhance biodiversity and ecosystem services is a global priority, and animal responses to the restoration of habitats are a critical but undervalued component. Identifying the key drivers of animal colonization in restored habitats provides critical insights for restoration practitioners seeking to maximize ecological outcomes. When integrated into predictive frameworks and spatial decision-support tools, this knowledge becomes valuable for strategic planning, particularly in complex multihabitat restoration projects where spatial configuration remains a crucial yet understudied dimension influencing ecosystem recovery trajectories. We collect and analyze animal data from one of the world's largest multihabitat coastal restoration systems in Denmar
