Ecological stoichiometry: An elementary approach using basic principles
Based on the observation that organism-specific elemental content creates ecologically relevant mismatches such as between plant and animal tissue, it was postulated—and experimentally verified—that this would profoundly affect trophic efficiency and nutrient fluxes in ecosystems. From its beginnings as a Daphnia-centered perspective, the field of ecological stoichiometry (ES) has widened to in...
متن کاملTowards an Integrated Approach to Basic Ethical Principles
From 1995 to 1998, the European Commission supported the “Basic Ethical Principles in European Bioethics and Biolaw” research project (1995–1998). The project was based on cooperation between 22 partners coming from most EU countries. Its aim was to identify the ethical principles relating to autonomy, dignity, integrity and vulnerability as four important ideas or values for a European bioethi...
متن کاملCommunity responses to contaminants: using basic ecological principles to predict ecotoxicological effects.
Community ecotoxicology is defined as the study of the effects of contaminants on patterns of species abundance, diversity, community composition, and species interactions. Recent discoveries that species diversity is positively associated with ecosystem stability, recovery, and services have made a community-level perspective on ecotoxicology more important than ever. Community ecotoxicology m...
متن کاملEcoenzymatic Stoichiometry and Ecological Theory
The net primary production of the biosphere is consumed largely by microorganisms; whose metabolism creates the trophic base for detrital foodwebs, drives element cycles, and mediates atmospheric composition. Biogeochemical constraints on microbial catabolism, relative to primary production, create reserves of detrital organic carbon in soils and sediments that exceed the carbon content of the ...
