متن کاملIdentifying Thresholds for Ecosystem-Based Management
BACKGROUND One of the greatest obstacles to moving ecosystem-based management (EBM) from concept to practice is the lack of a systematic approach to defining ecosystem-level decision criteria, or reference points that trigger management action. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS To assist resource managers and policymakers in developing EBM decision criteria, we introduce a quantitative, transfer...
متن کاملTowards trust management for cloud-based ecosystems
Inter-enterprise collaborations allow service providers to focus on their key competences while providing a composed service to end customers. The actors involved must determine whether the gains from participating outweigh the risks of depending on other autonomous collaboration participants, in order to make trust decisions on their willingness to collaborate. We define trust as the extent to...
متن کاملFood for thought Why compare marine ecosystems?
Effective marine ecosystem-based management (EBM) requires understanding the key processes and relationships controlling the aspects of biodiversity, productivity, and resilience to perturbations. Unfortunately, the scales, complexity, and non-linear dynamics that characterize marine ecosystems often confound managing for these properties. Nevertheless, scientifically derived decisionsupport to...
متن کاملTowards a food web perspective on biodiversity and ecosystem functioning
One of the most common questions asked by researchers across a variety of scientific disciplines is ‘How does the number of nodes connected together into a network influence the efficiency and reliability of that network?’. While social scientists and epidemiologists might think of ‘nodes’ and ‘connections’ as people interacting within a social network, computer scientists, neurologists, and ci...
