This comes along with an increase in (artificial) hard substrates in a mainly soft-bottom dominated marine area with so far largely unknown consequences for the underlying ecosystem functioning. We used a large combined dataset (both hard- and soft-substrate data) to model the secondary production of fouling communities on turbine foundations and of soft-bottom fauna inside and outside offshore wind farms (OWF) in the southern North Sea (Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany). We demonstrate that (1) a large amount of energy is channelled through fouling fauna on turbines (i.e., secondary production of fouling communities was on average 80 times higher than of soft-substrate communities), (2) 71&nbsp;% of fouling production on turbines is released to the surrounding sediment (annual release: −221&nbsp;±&nbsp;825 gC m<sup>−2</sup> y<sup>−1</sup> (SD)), and that (3) local production of soft-bottom communities is elevated up to a distance of 150–250&nbsp;m from turbines. Production impacted area (PIA) was determined from hard- and soft-substrate data independently: mechanistic modelling of hard-substrate production export showed a production increase of 5&nbsp;% up to 150&nbsp;m from the turbine and generalised additive mixed models (GAMMs) based on soft-bottom fauna data suggested an elevated production up to 250&nbsp;m from turbines. Accordingly, on the scale of an OWF (distance between turbines ∼1000&nbsp;m), the local production “halo” effect around turbines affects about 11&nbsp;% of an OWF area (dependent on OWF configuration). The observed changes in benthic energy flow may lead to so far unknown changes at the ecosystem level from plankton communities to apex predators.","AbstractOtherLang":null,"BibLvlCode":"AS","StandardTitle":"Offshore wind turbines constitute benthic secondary production hotspots on and around constructions","OrigTitleLangCode":"en","OrigTitleLangCodeExtended":"eng","OrigTitleLangID":15,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2026-04-21 01:33:40.867071","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+02:00"},"UserAccessRight":null,"UserAccID":null,"AuthorKeywords":"Scale; Macrozoobenthos; Offshore wind farms; Artificial hard substrate","OtherDescriptors":null,"Notes":null,"AnaPub":2025,"MonPub":null,"DateUpdate":"2025-11-21","DateCreate":"2025-11-20","SecASFANote":null,"ConfID":null,"PeerRev":1,"VlizCoreFlag":1,"WoScode":"WOS:001564215400003","VABBcode":null,"OpenAcc":1,"DOI":"10.1016/j.jenvman.2025.126922"},"refs":null,"anarec":{"AnaID":435992,"PubliDate":2025,"Pagination":"126922","XtraPublOfAnaID":null,"ISBN":null,"Volume":"393","Issue":null,"BRefMon":null,"BRefMonRR":null,"BRefXtra":null,"BRefXtraRR":null,"SerBRefID":43053,"SerRR":"Journal of Environmental Management.
