A boreal invasion in response to climate change? Range shifts and community effects in the borderland between forest and tundra.

Ambio

Elmhagen B, Kindberg J, Hellström P, Angerbjörn A.
PMID: 25576279
Ambio. 2015 Jan;44:S39-50. doi: 10.1007/s13280-014-0606-8.

It has been hypothesized that climate warming will allow southern species to advance north and invade northern ecosystems. We review the changes in the Swedish mammal and bird community in boreal forest and alpine tundra since the nineteenth century,...

An Integrated Coral Reef Ecosystem Model to Support Resource Management under a Changing Climate.

PloS one

Weijerman M, Fulton EA, Kaplan IC, Gorton R, Leemans R, Mooij WM, Brainard RE.
PMID: 26672983
PLoS One. 2015 Dec 16;10(12):e0144165. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0144165. eCollection 2015.

Millions of people rely on the ecosystem services provided by coral reefs, but sustaining these benefits requires an understanding of how reefs and their biotic communities are affected by local human-induced disturbances and global climate change. Ecosystem-based management that...

River ecosystem processes: A synthesis of approaches, criteria of use and sensitivity to environmental stressors.

The Science of the total environment

von Schiller D, Acuña V, Aristi I, Arroita M, Basaguren A, Bellin A, Boyero L, Butturini A, Ginebreda A, Kalogianni E, Larrañaga A, Majone B, Martínez A, Monroy S, Muñoz I, Paunović M, Pereda O, Petrovic M, Pozo J, Rodríguez-Mozaz S, Rivas D, Sabater S, Sabater F, Skoulikidis N, Solagaistua L, Vardakas L, Elosegi A.
PMID: 28458222
Sci Total Environ. 2017 Oct 15;596:465-480. doi: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2017.04.081. Epub 2017 Apr 27.

River ecosystems are subject to multiple stressors that affect their structure and functioning. Ecosystem structure refers to characteristics such as channel form, water quality or the composition of biological communities, whereas ecosystem functioning refers to processes such as metabolism,...

China's ecosystems: Sacrificing the poor.

Beyond the roots of human inaction: Fostering collective effort toward ecosystem conservation.

Science (New York, N.Y.)

Amel E, Manning C, Scott B, Koger S.
PMID: 28428394
Science. 2017 Apr 21;356(6335):275-279. doi: 10.1126/science.aal1931.

The term "environmental problem" exposes a fundamental misconception: Disruptions of Earth's ecosystems are at their root a human behavior problem. Psychology is a potent tool for understanding the external and internal drivers of human behavior that lead to unsustainable...

Linking social, ecological, and physical science to advance natural and nature-based protection for coastal communities.

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences

Arkema KK, Griffin R, Maldonado S, Silver J, Suckale J, Guerry AD.
PMID: 28370069
Ann N Y Acad Sci. 2017 Jul;1399(1):5-26. doi: 10.1111/nyas.13322. Epub 2017 Mar 30.

Interest in the role that ecosystems play in reducing the impacts of coastal hazards has grown dramatically. Yet the magnitude and nature of their effects are highly context dependent, making it difficult to know under what conditions coastal habitats,...

The Effect of Intra- and Interspecific Competition on Coexistence in Multispecies Communities.

The American naturalist

Barabás G, J Michalska-Smith M, Allesina S.
PMID: 27322128
Am Nat. 2016 Jul;188(1):E1-E12. doi: 10.1086/686901. Epub 2016 May 23.

For two competing species, intraspecific competition must exceed interspecific competition for coexistence. To generalize this well-known criterion to multiple competing species, one must take into account both the distribution of interaction strengths and community structure. Here we derive a...

Understanding complex biogeographic responses to climate change.

Scientific reports

Seabra R, Wethey DS, Santos AM, Lima FP.
PMID: 26245256
Sci Rep. 2015 Aug 06;5:12930. doi: 10.1038/srep12930.

Predicting the extent and direction of species' range shifts is a major priority for scientists and resource managers. Seminal studies have fostered the notion that biological systems responding to climate change-impacted variables (e.g., temperature, precipitation) should exhibit poleward range...

Eelgrass (Zostera marina) Food Web Structure in Different Environmental Settings.

PloS one

Thormar J, Hasler-Sheetal H, Baden S, Boström C, Clausen KK, Krause-Jensen D, Olesen B, Rasmussen JR, Svensson CJ, Holmer M.
PMID: 26752412
PLoS One. 2016 Jan 11;11(1):e0146479. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0146479. eCollection 2016.

This study compares the structure of eelgrass (Zostera marina L.) meadows and associated food webs in two eelgrass habitats in Denmark, differing in exposure, connection to the open sea, nutrient enrichment and water transparency. Meadow structure strongly reflected the...

An ecosystem-based understanding and analysis for SENCE toward sustainable development.

Journal of environmental sciences (China)

Cheng ST, Hou JX, Jia HF.
PMID: 11590765
J Environ Sci (China). 2001 Jul;13(3):328-32.

There is a need to find a comprehensive approach focusing on the conflicts between economical growth and environmental protection. Chinese scholars advocate a comprehensive ecosystem viewpoint named social-economic-natural complex ecosystem(SENCE). The kernel of the concept lies in the hierarchical...
