Dimensions of Health and Illness

The factors influencing the health-illness continuum can be internal or external and may or may not be under conscious control. They are related to the following eight human dimensions, and each dimension is interrelated to one other.
Pharmacodynamic Models: Overview01:27

Pharmacodynamic Models: Overview

Pharmacodynamic (PD) responses describe the interaction between a drug and its biological target, culminating in a physiological effect. These responses can be classified into different types: continuous variables, such as blood glucose levels; categorical outcomes, like survival rates; and time-to-event metrics, such as disease progression. Understanding and modeling PD responses are critical for optimizing drug efficacy and safety.PD models describe the relationship between drug concentration...
Ecological Disturbance02:26

Ecological Disturbance

An ecological disturbance is a temporary disruption in the environment resulting from abiotic, biotic, or anthropogenic factors, causing a pronounced change in an ecosystem. The impact of an ecological disturbance, which can depend on its intensity, frequency, and spatial distribution, plays a significant role in shaping the species diversity within the ecosystem.
The Soil Ecosystem02:23

The Soil Ecosystem

Plants obtain inorganic minerals and water from the soil, which acts as a natural medium for land plants. The composition and quality of soil depend not only on the chemical constituents but also on the presence of living organisms. In general, soils contain three major components:
What is Biodiversity?01:19

What is Biodiversity?

Biodiversity describes the variety of living things at multiple organizational levels: genetic, species and ecosystem diversity. Species diversity includes all branches of the evolutionary tree from single-celled prokaryotic organisms, bacteria, and archaea, to the eukaryotic kingdoms: plants; animals; fungi; and protists. To date, there have been about 1.75 million species identified, and new species are discovered every week.

Area of Science:

  • Integrative environmental science
  • Ecosystem management
  • Human dimensions of ecology

Background:

  • Current ecosystem management often focuses on single species or sectors, necessitating a shift to holistic, ecosystem-based approaches.
  • Ecosystem services are crucial for management as they reflect societal values and benefits, linking human well-being to ecosystem health.
  • Existing models like Driver, Pressure, State, Impact, and Response (DPSIR) primarily focus on negative impacts, limiting their scope for holistic management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose and illustrate a novel conceptual model, the Driver, Pressure, State, Ecosystem service, and Response (EBM-DPSER) model, for integrating ecosystem services into ecosystem-based management.
  • To enhance holistic ecosystem management by incorporating both positive and negative human-natural interactions.
  • To provide a framework that aids in identifying trade-offs and improving management decisions within complex socio-ecological systems.

Main Methods:

  • Developed the EBM-DPSER conceptual model by merging the Driver, Pressure, State, Impact, and Response (DPSIR) framework with the concept of ecosystem services.
  • Replaced the 'Impact' module of DPSIR with 'Ecosystem service' to explicitly include societal benefits and diverse ecosystem changes.
  • Applied the EBM-DPSER model to the Florida Keys and Dry Tortugas marine ecosystem for a case study analysis.

Main Results:

  • The EBM-DPSER model successfully integrates biophysical and human dimensions, offering a more comprehensive understanding of ecosystem dynamics.
  • The case study demonstrated the model's utility in capturing a wider range of human-natural interactions, including positive ecosystem changes.
  • The model facilitates a clearer identification of trade-offs inherent in ecosystem management decisions.

Conclusions:

  • The EBM-DPSER model provides a valuable operational tool for implementing ecosystem-based management by focusing on ecosystem services important to society.
  • This integrated framework enhances holistic representation of ecosystem and human society interactions, improving management effectiveness.
  • The EBM-DPSER model offers a familiar yet expanded framework for resource managers to address complex ecosystem challenges.
