Evidence That Marine Reserves Enhance Resilience to Climatic Impacts
Establishment of marine protected areas, including fully protected marine reserves, is one of the few management tools available for local communities to combat the deleterious effect of large scale environmental impacts, including global climate change, on ocean ecosystems. Despite the common hope that reserves play this role, empirical evidence of the effectiveness of local protection against...
متن کاملForest Ecosystems, Disturbances, and Climatic Change in Washington State, USA
Climatic change is likely to affect Pacific Northwest (PNW) forests in several important ways. In this paper, we address the role of climate in four forest ecosystem processes and project the effects of future climatic change on these processes. First, we analyze how climate affects Douglas-fir growth across the region to understand potential changes in future growth. In areas where Douglas-fir...
متن کاملNew paradigms for supporting the resilience of marine ecosystems.
Resource managers and scientists from disparate disciplines are rising to the challenge of understanding and moderating human impacts on marine ecosystems. Traditional barriers to communication between marine ecologists, fisheries biologists, social scientists and economists are beginning to break down, and the distinction between applied and basic research is fading. These ongoing trends arise...
متن کاملVegetation Cover Dynamics and Resilience to Climatic and Hydrological Disturbances in Seasonal Floodplain: The Effects of Hydrological Connectivity
Floodplain wetlands are valuable ecosystems for maintaining biodiversity, but are vulnerable to hydrological modification and climatic extremes. The floodplain wetlands in the middle Yangtze region are biodiversity hotspots, particularly important for wintering migratory waterbirds. In recent years, extremely low winter water level events frequently occurred in the middle Yangtze River. The hyd...
متن کاملNew Tools to Meet New Challenges: Emerging Technologies for Managing Marine Ecosystems for Resilience
A the momentum for the study of ecosystem resiliency increases, more data are critically needed about the members of the ecosystems under study. Ironically, ecosystem-based management places even greater demands on the study of individual organisms because of the need for simultaneous information on multiple species. Specifically, what species are present or absent? What are their distributions...
