Historical and simulated ecosystem carbon dynamics in Ghana: land use, management, and climate
We used the General Ensemble biogeochemical Modeling System (GEMS) to simulate responses of natural and managed ecosystems to changes in land use, management, and climate for a forest/savanna transitional zone in central Ghana. Model results show that deforestation for crop production during the last century resulted in a substantial re-5 duction in ecosystem carbon (C) stock from 135.4 Mg C ha...
متن کاملEcosystem context and historical contingency in apex predator recoveries
Habitat loss, overexploitation, and numerous other stressors have caused global declines in apex predators. This "trophic downgrading" has generated widespread concern because of the fundamental role that apex predators can play in ecosystem functioning, disease regulation, and biodiversity maintenance. In attempts to combat declines, managers have conducted reintroductions, imposed stricter ha...
متن کاملEcosystem management in 4 dimensions
Management of marine resources is supported by extensive use of acoustic data. Ecosystem management requires simultaneous observations of marine organisms and their interactions. The use of quantitative sonar combined with vertical oriented echo sounders is essential: the multi-frequency echosounder data is used to remotely identify acoustic scattering categories and the spatial distribution of...
متن کاملThe use of historical range and variability (HRV) in landscape management
This paper examines the past, present, and future use of the concept of historical range and variability (HRV) in landmanagement. The history, central concepts, benefits, and limitations of HRV are presented along with a discussion on the value of HRV in a changing world with rapid climate warming, exotic species invasions, and increased land development. This paper is meant as a reference on t...
متن کاملClimate Change, Ecosystem Variability and Fisheries Productivity
Climate-driven variation on the timing and location of phytoplankton blooms has profound effects on the number of larval fish and invertebrates surviving and recruiting each year, and ultimately on the structure and dynamics of marine ecosystems. The spring phytoplankton bloom is the only source of food for many fish and invertebrate larvae. The degree of spatial and temporal overlap of the spr...
