Emergent Global Patterns of Ecosystem Structure and Function from a Mechanistic General Ecosystem Model
Anthropogenic activities are causing widespread degradation of ecosystems worldwide, threatening the ecosystem services upon which all human life depends. Improved understanding of this degradation is urgently needed to improve avoidance and mitigation measures. One tool to assist these efforts is predictive models of ecosystem structure and function that are mechanistic: based on fundamental e...
متن کاملMechanistic scaling of ecosystem function and dynamics in space and time: Ecosystem Demography model version 2
[1] Insights into how terrestrial ecosystems affect the Earth’s response to changes in climate and rising atmospheric CO2 levels rely heavily on the predictions of terrestrial biosphere models (TBMs). These models contain detailed mechanistic representations of biological processes affecting terrestrial ecosystems; however, their ability to simultaneously predict field-based measurements of ter...
متن کاملDevelopment of State-and-Transition Models (STM): Integrating Ecosystem Function, Structure and Energy to STM
The main objective of an ecosystem sustainable management is to preserve itscapacity to respond and adapt to current disturbances and/or future changes, and maintain theprovision of environmental goods and services. Two very important properties linked to thisobjective are the ecosystem resilience and resistance to disturbance factors. The objective ofthis paper is to recommend conceptual modif...

متن کاملEcosystem Patterns and Processes
Ecosystems are complex entities composed of diverse organisms expressing a myriad of life histories, body sizes, and metabolic pathways embedded in a dynamic physical and chemical environment. A suite of internal processes create an intricate web of relationships that control the flow of energy and materials within and between ecosystems. Contributing to the complex nature of ecosystems is the ...
