Regional differences in kelp forest interaction chains are influenced by both diffuse and localized stressors

Ecosphere, 2019
On temperate rocky reefs, overexploitation of high‐trophic‐level omnivores can result in the decimation of kelp forest habitats by releasing sea urchin population networks from top‐down control.

Functional Redundancy Facilitates Resilience of Subarctic Phytoplankton Assemblages toward Ocean Acidification and High Irradiance

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2017
In order to understand how ocean acidification (OA) and enhanced irradiance levels might alter phytoplankton eco-physiology, productivity and species composition, we conducted an incubation experiment with a natural plankton assemblage from sub-surface ...

Multiple stressors prevent gains in native plant diversity following invasive species removal

Ecosphere, 2023
Land managers spend substantial resources managing invasive species to mitigate their negative ecological and economic impacts. However, invasive species management is seldom coupled with empirical assessments of management outcomes or the ecological ...

Ecological Risk of Water Resource Use to the Wellbeing of Macroinvertebrate Communities in the Rivers of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa

Frontiers in Water, 2020
The rivers of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, are being impacted by various anthropogenic activities that threaten their sustainability. Our study demonstrated how Bayesian networks could be used to conduct an environmental risk assessment of ...

Perspectives from landscape ecology can improve environmental impact assessment

FACETS, 2021
The outcomes of environmental impact assessment (EIA) influence millions of hectares of land and can be a contentious process. A vital aspect of an EIA process is consideration of the accumulation of impacts from multiple activities and stressors through

Effects of multiple stressors on river biofilms depend on the time scale

, 2019
Global change exposes ecosystems to a myriad of stressors differing in their spatial (i.e. surface of stressed area) and temporal (i.e. exposure time) components.

Evaluating the Impact of Ocean Acidification on Seafood – a Global Approach

Brazilian Journal of Radiation Sciences
The quality of human life and food security are closely linked to the health of the ocean and the many goods and services it provides. However, the ocean is under cumulative stress from various human-driven pressures, leading to eutrophication ...
