Application of an ecosystem function framework to perceptions of community woodlands [PDF]
, 2009 Owners, local residents, government, and conservation organisations can express divergent preferences in the development and management of local woodlands. The perceptions of these four groups were examined, in the context of three community woodlands

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2021 Global declines in biodiversity have the potential to affect ecosystem function, and vice versa, in both terrestrial and aquatic ecological realms. While many studies have considered biodiversity-ecosystem function (BEF) relationships at local scales ...

Measurement of changes in marine benthic ecosystem function following physical disturbance by dredging [PDF]
, 2012 Measuring the impact of physical disturbance on macrofaunal communities and sediment composition is important given the increased demand for the exploitation and disturbance of marine ecosystems.

Conservation of Abundance: How Fungi can Contribute to Rethinking Conservation
Conservation & Society, 2023 Mainstream biodiversity conservation continues to emphasise the rapid disappearance of charismatic megafauna. Fungi are ignored, partially because many are invisible.

Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Boreal peatlands are critical ecosystems globally because they house 30%–40% of terrestrial carbon (C), much of which is stored in permafrost soil vulnerable to climate warming‐induced thaw.

Fish extinctions and ecosystem functioning in tropical ecosystems [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2007 The activities of modern humans have increased the extinction rate of the world's species by up to 1,000 times that observed from the fossil record (1). This extinction crisis has motivated the scientific community to understand the consequences of reduced biodiversity for the dynamics of ecosystems, especially those that provide basic services to ...

Habitat Provision and Erosion Are Influenced by Seagrass Meadow Complexity: A Seascape Perspective
Diversity, 2023 Habitat complexity plays a critical role in shaping biotic assemblages and ecosystem processes. While the impacts of large differences in habitat complexity are often well understood, we know less about how subtle differences in structure affect key ...

Trawling-induced change in benthic effect trait composition – A multiple case study
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 IntroductionThe importance of the response-effect trait dichotomy in marine benthic ecology has garnered recent attention. Response traits, characterising species responses to environmental variations, have been a dominant focus in the development of ...

Ecosystem services online: an overview of web-based resources [PDF]
, 2013 2 pagesAs the concepts of ecosystem services and payments for ecosystem services (PES) have evolved, numerous web-based resources have been created to 1) provide and exchange information about ecosystem services, and 2) facilitate transactions between ...

The case for marine ecosystem models of intermediate complexity [PDF]
, 2009 Marine ecosystem models are reasonably proficient at simulating physically-driven features such as spring blooms. However, the demands on these models are shifting to complex biological issues such as functional diversity, and changes in ecosystems and ...
