Potential NDVI as a baseline for monitoring ecosystem functioning
Baseline data are needed to determine the overall magnitude and direction of change in ecosystem functioning. This letter presents an approach to estimate potential NDVI fromenvironmental variables and training data of actual NDVI in nature reserves. Patterns of deviations of actual NDVI from the baseline generally correspond with land-use types in the western United States.

The first section o f this report contains an in troduction that summarizes the Wintergreen discussions and recommendations. Subse quent sections include reports o f the initial workshops and reports o f the Wintergreen interdisciplinary working groups. At Wintergreen the scientists concluded that: • fundamental knowledge o f the interrela tionships among physical processes, popula tion dyn...
متن کاملVolcanic Disturbances and Ecosystem Recovery
Volcanic eruptions are major natural disturbances with varied and complex consequences. Recent studies of how plants colonize newly created volcanic surfaces already have begun to clarify our understanding of succession. Because volcanoes create disturbance mosaics, it is imperative that we more fully understand the biotic responses. The 1883 eruption of Krakatau captured the world’s imaginatio...
متن کاملEcosystem oceanography for global change in fisheries.
Overexploitation and climate change are increasingly causing unanticipated changes in marine ecosystems, such as higher variability in fish recruitment and shifts in species dominance. An ecosystem-based approach to fisheries attempts to address these effects by integrating populations, food webs and fish habitats at different scales. Ecosystem models represent indispensable tools to achieve th...
متن کاملA global baseline for spawning aggregations of reef fishes.
Species that periodically and predictably congregate on land or in the sea can be extremely vulnerable to overexploitation. Many coral reef fishes form spawning aggregations that are increasingly the target of fishing. Although serious declines are well known for a few species, the extent of this behavior among fishes and the impacts of aggregation fishing are not appreciated widely. To profile...
