According to MGMAT SC, Page 185, following sentence is correct.
These results indicate that the health of the marsh’s ecosystem has seriously declined,
(indicate that + clause)
As far as I understood, subjunctive must have verb in root form so how the use of has is correct in above sentence?

If you read closely at the beginning of the paragraph of subjunctive mood, it is clearly stated that you can expect to see the subjunctive in 2 special situations
A) unreal or unlikely situations (hypothetical subjunctive)
B) proposals, wishes, and requests(command subjunctive)
The sentence you cited qualifies for none of the above scenarios
Every sentence with 'that' is NOT a subjunctive mood sentence.
Hope this helps

Thanks denotobizz for the explanation.
Can we use Subjunctive for Claim, contend and rule as well?
E.g. Page 217 of MGMAT SC 5th Edition said following sentences are correct:
They CLAIMED THAT gold was growing scarce.
They CONTENDED THAT the price of gold would rise.
The court RULED THAT the criminals were guilty of fraud.
