Disease?mediated nutrient dynamics: Coupling host–pathogen interactions with ecosystem elements and energy

چکیده
Autotrophs play an essential role in the cycling of carbon and nutrients, yet disease-ecosystem relationships are often overlooked these dynamics. Importantly, availability elemental nutrients like nitrogen phosphorus impacts infectious disease autotrophs, can induce reciprocal effects on ecosystem nutrient Relationships linking with dynamics bidirectional, though interdependence processes has received little attention. We introduce disease-mediated (DND) as a framework to describe multiple, concurrent pathways cycles disease. illustrate impact disease–ecosystem feedback loops both using simple mathematical model, combining approaches from classical ecological (logistic Droop growth) epidemiological (susceptible infected compartments) theory. Our model incorporates growth rates susceptible autotroph hosts tracks return environment following host death. While focused here, DND is generalizable higher trophic levels. results surprisingly complex populations, infection patterns, that arise even relatively between nutrients. Feedback via supply stoichiometry population size. illustrates how rate, defense, tissue chemistry relationships. use motivate review empirical examples autotroph–pathogen systems aquatic terrestrial environments, demonstrating key nutrient–disease disease–nutrient real systems. By assessing existing evidence uncovering data gaps apparent mismatches predictions systems, we highlight priorities for future research intended narrow persistent disciplinary gap ecology. Future theoretical work explicitly examining dynamic linkages ecology will inform fundamental understanding each discipline better position field predict context global change.

Invasive aquarium fish transform ecosystem nutrient dynamics.
Trade of ornamental aquatic species is a multi-billion dollar industry responsible for the introduction of myriad fishes into novel ecosystems. Although aquarium invaders have the potential to alter ecosystem function, regulation of the trade is minimal and little is known about the ecosystem-level consequences of invasion for all but a small number of aquarium species. Here, we demonstrate how...
متن کاملNonnative fish stocking alters stream ecosystem nutrient dynamics.
Each year, millions of hatchery-raised fish are stocked into streams and rivers worldwide, yet the effects of hatchery-raised fish on stream nutrient cycles have seldom been examined. We quantified the influence of supplemental nonnative fish stocking, a widespread recreational fishery management practice, on in-stream nutrient storage and cycling. We predicted that supplemental, hatchery-raise...
متن کاملNutrient controls on ecosystem dynamics: the Chesapeake mesohaline community
Ecological researchers have long borrowed concepts from the theory of chemical kinetics to describe nutrient dynamics in ecosystems. Contemporary ecology, however, is in the process of creating its own suite of ideas to quantify how whole ecosystems develop. In particular, the theory of ecosystem ascendency can be applied to data on the simultaneous flows of various chemical constituents to det...
متن کاملNutrient recycling affects autotroph and ecosystem stoichiometry.
Stoichiometric nutrient ratios are the consequence of myriad interacting processes, both biotic and abiotic. Theoretical explanations for autotroph stoichiometry have focused on species' nutrient requirements but have not addressed the role of nutrient availability in determining autotroph stoichiometry. Remineralization of organic N and P supplies a significant fraction of inorganic N and P to...
