Damped trophic cascades driven by fishing in model marine ecosystems.
The largest perturbation on upper trophic levels of many marine ecosystems stems from fishing. The reaction of the ecosystem goes beyond the trophic levels directly targeted by the fishery. This reaction has been described either as a change in slope of the overall size spectrum or as a trophic cascade triggered by the removal of top predators. Here we use a novel size- and trait-based model to...
متن کامل" Aerosol Impacts on Marine Ecosystems "
The initial melting of mantle plumes produced unparalleled volumes of lava that formed large igneous provinces (LIPs). These events were sometimes so large that they triggered catastrophic mass extinctions and oceanic anoxic events. Global tomography and numerical models suggest that mantle plume occurrences are closely linked to the margins of the large low shear velocity provinces (LLSVPs) lo...

متن کاملQuantifying effects of fishing on marine trophic webs
Exploited ecosystems are characterised by exports of secondary production from each fished trophic level that reduce the energy available for upper levels at ecosystem scale thus impinging on overall secondary productions. Depletion in secondary production with respect to the unfished state is here proposed as a proxy for quantifying ecosystem effects of fishing. Theoretical analysis of trophic...
متن کاملClimate change impacts on marine ecosystems.
In marine ecosystems, rising atmospheric CO2 and climate change are associated with concurrent shifts in temperature, circulation, stratification, nutrient input, oxygen content, and ocean acidification, with potentially wide-ranging biological effects. Population-level shifts are occurring because of physiological intolerance to new environments, altered dispersal patterns, and changes in spec...
