Global environmental change (including climate change, biodiversity
loss, changes in hydrological and biogeochemical cycles, and
intensive exploitation of natural resources) is having significant
impacts on the world's oceans. This handbook advances knowledge of
the structure and functioning of marine ecosystems, and their past,
present, and future responses to physical and anthropogenic
forcing. It illustrates how climate and humans impact marine
ecosystems, providing a comprehensive review of the physical and
ecological processes that structure marine ecosystems as well as
the observation, experimentation, and modelling approaches required
for their study. Recognizing the interactive roles played by humans
in using marine resources and in responding to global changes in
marine systems, the book includes chapters on the human dimensions
of marine ecosystem changes and on effective management approaches
in this era of rapid change. A final section reviews the state of
the art in predicting the responses of marine ecosystems to future
global change scenarios with the intention of informing both future
research agendas and marine management policy.
Marine Ecosystems and Global Change provides a detailed synthesis
of the work conducted under the auspices of the Global Ocean
Ecosystems Dynamics (GLOBEC) program. This research spans two
decades, and represents the largest, multi-disciplinary,
international effort focused on understanding the impacts of
external forcing on the structure and dynamics of global marine
ecosystems.
