Modeling Biogeochemical Processes in Marine Ecosystems
Ecosystems are dynamic systems and the study of their functioning and evolution requires the development of dynamic biogeochemical models. A wide application and a pronounced development of this type of model has taken place during the last two decades due essentially, to the development of computer technology, which has permitted the handling of very complex mathematical systems, and also to t...
متن کاملThe Functioning of Marine Ecosystems
There is considerable evidence that environmental variability plays a major role in controlling abundance and distribution of marine populations and that fisheries alter ecosystem functioning and state. This overview documents emergent ecosystem-level ecological patterns and answers meaningful questions regarding the exploitation of marine resources. Do marine ecosystems function differently fr...
متن کاملEcosystems in Action: Lessons from Marine Ecology about Recovery, Resistance, and Reversibility
I the face of natural or human disturbances, an ecosystem may be damaged and recover; it may resist the disturbance and remain fundamentally unchanged; or it may change irreversibly, persisting in a different state for a long period of time. All three of these features of ecosystem stability—recovery, resistance, and reversibility—are features of overall resilience or robustness (Levin 1999, Le...
متن کاملUsing multivariate generalized linear latent variable models to measure the difference in event count for stranded marine animals
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The classification of marine animals as protected species makes data and information on them to be very important. Therefore, this led to the need to retrieve and understand the data on the event counts for stranded marine animals based on location emergence, number of individuals, behavior, and threats to their presence. Whales are g...
متن کاملStepwise strategic environmental management in marine protected area
In recent decades, necessity to protect environment has been a serious concern for all people and international communities. In appropriate development of human economic activities, subsistence dependence of the growing world population on nature decreases the natural diversity of ecosystems and habitats day by day and provides additional constraints for life and survival of wildlife. As a resu...
متن کاملInteractive effects of global climate change and pollution on marine microbes: the way ahead
Global climate change has the potential to seriously and adversely affect marine ecosystem functioning. Numerous experimental and modeling studies have demonstrated how predicted ocean acidification and increased ultraviolet radiation (UVR) can affect marine microbes. However, researchers have largely ignored interactions between ocean acidification, increased UVR and anthropogenic pollutants i...
