Marine biodiversity futures and ecosystem functioning: frameworks, methodologies and integration.

Martin Solan, Rebecca Jane Aspden, David Maxwell Paterson

Research output: Book/Report › Book

Abstract

The biological composition and richness of most of the Earth's major ecosystems are being dramatically and irreversibly transformed by anthropogenic activity. Yet, despite the vast areal extent of our oceans, the mainstay of research to-date in the biodiversity-ecosystem functioning arena has been weighted towards ecological observations and experimentation in terrestrial plant and soil systems. This book provides a framework for extending these concepts to a variety of marine systems.
