Systematic literature review of articles titles with "Artificial Reef" words in the world between the years of 1990-2020

Over the past decade, there has been increasing interest in marine restoration, requiring a consideration of various approaches for optimal success. Artificial reefs (ARs) have been employed for marine restoration and fisheries management, but their effectiveness in restoring ecosystems lacks well-defined ecological criteria and empirical evidence. A systematic review of the literature on ARs articles between 1990-2020, a meta-analysis on their effectiveness based on the similarity of species composition with reference natural reefs (NRs), as well as bias risk analysis were carried out.
