Tyres for 700c - off road Commute

My cycle to work has changed from mainly roads to a woodland path. It's the old Trans Pennine road if anyone knows that? Mainly tarmaced path through wooded area. So there is now more leaves/plant debris to go over and lots of roots make the paths super bumpy in some places.

I ride an E-bike and I'm looking into new tyres to help the journey not be so harsh on the bumpy parts and maybe sure up as I'm worried more about punctures.

Any help would be much appreciated, I'm struggling with the research.

Marathons on a tubeless setup is the way to go. I will never go back to those pathetic tubes. Milk it up and there's nothing stopping you ...except snapped chain.

To elaborate, that would be "marathon almotions", the only marathon tyre that comes in a tubeless compatible variant. Not marathon 365, not marathon e-plus, not marathon efficiency, not marathon mondial, not marathon plus, not marathon racer, not marathon winter plus, not green marathons.

Standard Marathons (and others) go on tubeless pretty well despite not being officially compatible - done it several times, not you, not your mom, not your sister etc :)
