Under the stresses of climate change and anthropogenic activities, marine ecosystems are undergoing unprecedented changes. Accurately assessing the ecological quality status of marine ecosystems and their spatiotemporal variation characteristics is an urgent scientific challenge. Within marine ecological quality assessment frameworks, macrobenthos serve as critical evaluation criteria due to their distinctive physiological and ecological traits. However, current assessment indicators based on macrobenthic communities are numerous yet singular, lacking a comprehensive integrated evaluation system. To address this gap, the present study proposes a multi-dimensional, multi-indicator evaluation framework constructed from an ecological perspective that integrates both community structure and function. This framework comprises three primary categories and nine secondary indices: (1) biotic indices (M-AMBI and BENTIX index); (2) community structure (Shannon-Wiener diversity index, species richness, taxonomic composition, abundance, and biomass); and (3) functional attributes and stability (functional diversity and stability). Weight assignments were allocated according to indicator importance to calculate the macrobenthic community ecological quality index (MCEQI) for benthic ecological status assessment. Application of MCEQI to analyze the macrobenthic community ecological status in Jiaozhou Bay demonstrated that this index exhibits higher accuracy than single-indicator approaches, providing a more comprehensive reflection of community ecological quality.
