Mangrove ecosystem dynamics and clearance impacts
Despite rapid declines in global mangrove ecosystem area, temperate mangrove ecosystems in New Zealand have increased in area in recent decades. Mangrove clearance is increasingly being used as a strategy to manage this expansion. One of the aims of mangrove clearance is to return sandflat habitats …

Long-term ecosystem dynamics of contrasting grasslands in South Africa
… in vegetation and soil in grassland and savanna ecosystems. In these ecosystems, wetlands are key resource areas because they keep moisture and collect nutrients that support grass production. The grass production supports high grazer densities in landscapes, especially during dry climatic …

Pseudoproxy modelling to explore ecosystem dynamics and assess uncertainties in palaeoecology
Contemporary ecosystems are experiencing increasing anthropogenic pressure and there is growing concern over how they will respond to such novel pressures. Palaeoecology offers crucial understanding of how ecosystems have responded to environmental change in the past, and provides valuable insight …

Computational analysis of the biophysical controls on Southern Ocean phytoplankton ecosystem dynamics
… global biogeochemical cycling and climate dynamics. The structure of spatial-temporal variability in phytoplankton ecosystem dynamics is largely governed by physical processes but a variety of competing pathways complicate our understanding of how exactly they drive net population growth. …

Diameter Estimation of Eucalyptus spp. Plantations in Southern Brazil Using Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation Data and Support Vector Regression
… 6.2 of the Paris Agreement. Data from the Global Ecosystems Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) provide an excellent opportunity to measure plantation forests over large areas. We focused our efforts on Eucalyptus in southern Brazil and used data from an industrial partner to investigate plantation …

Understanding good ecological status: a palaeolimnological approach
… ephippia allows for the analysis of changes in ecosystem dynamics in response to nutrient enrichment, whilst pollen, charcoal analysis and archaeology enables the degree to which limnological change was driven by human impact to be examined. Reconstruction of long-term ecosystem status shows …

Patterns of shallow clouds and rainfall over the Amazon : climatic impacts of deforestation
… may have important implications for the local ecosystem dynamics of the Amazon, for the geomorphology of the Amazon river basin, for the flow regimes of the Amazon river, and for global climate.

Addressing the impact of the EU CFP landing obligation on the northern North Sea ecosystem and Shetland fisheries in a changing climate.
Using ecosystem models, past and present dynamics of the northern North Sea were explored to estimate future impacts of the Landing Obligation (LO) and climate change. Building an Ecopath with Ecosim (EwE) model of northern North Sea (International Council for the Exploration of the Sea ICES …

COMPARATIVE BIOGEOGRAPHY OF NORTH AMERICAN PIKA PARASITES: UNRAVELING A HISTORY DRIVEN BY CLIMATE CHANGE
… group that can provide important information on ecosystem dynamics and climate change as well as host biogeographic history. I performed a comparative biogeographic study on two endoparasitic helminth lineages associated with pikas (<em>Ochotona</em>) -the tapeworm genus <em>Schizorchis</em> and …

Biology and ecological energetics of the supralittoral isopod Ligia dilatata
… are important to gain a full understanding of ecosystem dynamics and that data gained from these studies can be incorporated into complex but meaningful models. This approach was adopted in a study of the complex kelp bed ecosystem off the west coast of South Africa initiated in 1975. Pilot …

Modelling the Baltic Sea food web with a Dynamic Bayesian Network with hidden variables
Protection of the functioning of ecosystems requires understanding of the ecological processes, which, however, are highly complex on multiple spatial and temporal scales. This complexity is a major challenge for modellers, particularly as ecological data are often scarce, and ecosystems are known …
