Here we study this relationship by simulating river flow and sediment supply in four watersheds that are adjacent to Madagascar’s major coral reef ecosystems for a range of future climate change projections and land-use change scenarios. We show that by 2090, all four watersheds are predicted ...
Part 2: the effects of multiple stressors on freshwater and marine ecosystems || synergism and antagonism among multiple stressors The deteriorating health of the world's coral reefs threatens global biodiversity, ecosystem function, and the livelihoods of millions of people living in ...

Forest-grassland mosaic ecosystems can exhibit alternative stables states, whereby under the same environmental conditions, the ecosystem could equally well reside either in one state or another, depending on the initial conditions. We develop a mathemat

'The impact we have had on ocean ecosystems has been vastly underestimated. These are the megafauna, the big predators of the sea, and the species we most value. Their depletion not only threatens the future of these fish and the fishers that depend on them, it could also bring about a ...
Impact of Benzo(a)Pyrene, Cu and Their Mixture on the Proteomic Response of Mytilus galloprovincialis. Aquat. Toxicol. 2013, 144–145, 284–295. [Google Scholar] [CrossRef] Saeed, T.; Ali, L.N.; Al-Bloushi, A.; Al-Hashash, H.; Al-Bahloul, M.; Al-Khabbaz, A.; Al-Khayat, ...
Ecological Economics Ecological economics seeks to understand the value of nature to society (in monetary and other metrics) and assumes that the economy is embedded within ecosystems subject to biophysical limits. This field strives to understand and make progress towards environmental sustainability, eff...
While change in sea ice extent is well mapped via satellites, we did not include sea ice as a habitat because it is naturally highly variable, or as a stressor because its impact on ecosystems remains poorly understood19 (see Supplementary Methods); we represent this uncertainty as shaded ...
