Oceans, 2023 In the past decades, one of the most widely reported phenomena on Caribbean reefs is the general fall in coral cover and rise in macroalgae. Reefs with low coral cover and high macroalgal abundances are often presumed to provide poorer ecosystem ...

Managing estuaries for ecosystem function
Global Ecology and Conservation, 2020 Estuary management is limited by lack of consensus on operational tools for handling multiple conflicting management objectives. One critical step to this goal is a shift from individual problems to a focus on maintaining ecosystem functions that benefit humans.

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 ...

Periphyton Function in Lake Ecosystems [PDF]
The Scientific World JOURNAL, 2002 Periphyton communities have received relatively little attention in lake ecosystems. However, evidence is increasing that they play a key role in primary productivity, nutrient cycling, and food web interactions. This review summarizes those findings and places them in a conceptual framework to evaluate the functional importance of periphyton in lakes.

Mountain biodiversity and ecosystem functions: interplay between geology and contemporary environments. [PDF]
ISME J, 2020 Although biodiversity and ecosystem functions are strongly shaped by contemporary environments, such as climate and local biotic and abiotic attributes, relatively little is known about how they depend on long-term geological processes.
