Ecological Disturbance02:26

Ecological Disturbance

21.2K
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.

Sustainable Development

15.3K
As the human population continues to grow and use resources, we must be mindful of our planet’s natural limits. Sustainable development provides a pathway to maintain and improve human life now while also ensuring that future generations will have the resources that they need. The long-term success of sustainability efforts rests on understanding the interplay between human actions and ecological systems.

Ecological Niches

All organisms have a position within an ecosystem. The complete set of living and nonliving factors—including food resources, climate, and terrain—that define the position of a given organism are collectively referred to as the organism’s ecological niche.

Threats to Biodiversity

27.3K
There have been five major extinction events throughout geological history, resulting in the elimination of biodiversity, followed by a rebound of species that adapted to the new conditions. In the current geological epoch, the Holocene, there is a sixth extinction event in progress. This mass extinction has been attributed to human activities and is thus provisionally called the Anthropocene. In 2019 the human population reached 7.7 billion people and is projected to comprise 10 billion by...

Global Climate Change

29.1K
Throughout its ~4.5 billion year history, the Earth has experienced periods of warming and cooling. However, the current drastic increase in global temperatures is well outside of the Earth’s cyclic norms, and evidence for human-caused global climate change is compelling. Paleoclimatology, the study of ancient climate conditions, provides ample evidence for human-caused global climate change by comparing recent conditions with those in the past.

Area of Science:

  • Ecosystem science
  • Social-ecological systems
  • Coastal management

Background:

  • Connectivity between marine, freshwater, and terrestrial ecosystems amplifies anthropogenic threats.
  • Globalization alters land-sea linkages through livelihood adaptations.
  • Effective governance across the land-sea interface is complex.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine livelihood exit and entry decisions of artisanal fishers and smallholder farmers.
  • To understand trans-ecosystem effects of globalization on coastal communities.
  • To identify linkages between livelihood transitions and natural resource implications.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of artisanal fisher and smallholder farmer livelihood decisions.
  • Examination of temporal and spatial patterns in exit and entry decisions.
  • Assessment of market access influence on livelihood choices.

Main Results:

  • Livelihood decisions showed distinct temporal and spatial patterns.
  • Exit and entry decisions varied significantly between fishing and farming livelihoods.
  • Access to regional and global markets strongly influenced household livelihood choices.

Conclusions:

  • Livelihood transitions create novel, spatially-explicit feedbacks between terrestrial and marine ecosystems.
  • Trans-ecosystem tradeoffs require further scientific investigation.
  • A trans-ecosystem approach is crucial for natural resource management in coastal regions.
