Marine Ecosystems Human Impacts on Biodiversity, Functioning and Services

A critical synthesis of key concepts for understanding human impacts on marine ecosystems and for decision-making based on ecosystem services.

Info autore

Tasman P. Crowe is Associate Dean of Science and a member of the Earth Institute and the School of Biology and Environmental Science at University College Dublin. He has undertaken research in Australia, Indonesia, Vanuatu, Ireland, the UK and continental Europe, studying individual and combined impacts of a range of stressors on marine benthic habitats, particularly rocky shores, and field-based testing of biomonitoring tools.Christopher L. J. Frid is Professor of Marine Biology and Head of the Griffith School of Environment at Griffith University in Queensland, Australia. A benthic ecologist by background, his research has sought to understand how marine ecosystems function and how human impacts alter the dynamics of these systems. He has worked in the UK and throughout Europe, as well as in Ghana, Indonesia, Thailand and Australia.

Riassunto

With contributions from leading researchers, this is a much-needed synthesis of the latest research into human impacts on marine ecosystems and the likely consequences for ecosystem services. It is designed for environmental managers and policy-makers, along with researchers and advanced students in marine ecology and environmental management.
