Österblom, H., C. Folke. 2015. Globalization, marine regime shifts and the Soviet Union. Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences 370: 20130278.
Regime shifts have been observed in marine ecosystems around the world, with climate and fishing suggested as major drivers of such shifts. The global and regional dynamics of the climate system have been studied in this context, and efforts to develop an analogous understanding of fishing activities are developing. Here, we investigate the timing of pelagic marine regime shifts in relation to the emergence of regional and glo...
Orr, Y., J.S. Lansing, M.R. Dove. 2015. Environmental Anthropology: Systemic perspectives. Annual Review of Anthropology 44: 153–168.
Our brief overview of developments in environmental anthropology since 1980 and their antecedents is organized around three themes: systems ecology, political ecology, and cognitive science. In some areas, the context is familiar. As Latour recently observed, the intellectual themes captured by the emergent concept of the Anthropocene have long been familiar to anthropologists. After decades of research on human–environmenta...
Nocke, T., S. Buschmann, J.F. Donges, N. Marwan, H.-J. Schulz, C. Tominski. 2015. Review: Visual analytics of climate networks. Nonlinear Processes in Geophysics 22: 545–570.
Network analysis has become an important approach in studying complex spatiotemporal behaviour within geophysical observation and simulation data. This new field produces increasing numbers of large geo-referenced networks to be analysed. Particular focus lies currently on the network analysis of the complex statistical interrelationship structure within climatological fields. The standard procedure for such network analyses...
Moor, H., K. Hylander, J. Norberg. 2015. Predicting climate change effects on wetland ecosystem services using species distribution modeling and plant functional traits. Ambio 44: 113–126.
Wetlands provide multiple ecosystem services, the sustainable use of which requires knowledge of the underlying ecological mechanisms. Functional traits, particularly the community-weighted mean trait (CWMT), provide a strong link between species communities and ecosystem functioning. We here combine species distribution modeling and plant functional traits to estimate the direction of change of ecosystem processes under cli...
Moksnes, P.-O., D.O. Mirera, E. Björkvik, M.I. Hamad, H.M. Mahudi, D. Nyqvist, N. Jiddawi, M. Troell. 2015. Stepwise function of natural growth for Scylla serrata in East Africa: A valuable tool for assessing growth of mud crabs in aquaculture. Aquaculture Research 46: 2938–2953.
Predicting growth is critical in aquaculture, but models of growth are largely missing for mud crab species. Here, we present the first model of natural growth in juvenile and adult mud crabs Scylla serrata from East Africa using a stepwise growth function based on data on intermoult periods and growth at moult from field mark-recapture, pond and laboratory studies. The results showed a sigmoid growth pattern in carapace wid...
Möllmann, C., C. Folke, M. Edwards, A. Conversi. 2015. Marine regime shifts around the globe: Theory, drivers and impacts. Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences 370(1659): 20130260.
This theme issue ‘Marine regime shifts around the globe: theory, drivers and impacts’ has the goal to make a step change towards a more unified understanding of regime shifts in marine ecosystems. Towards this purpose we define ecological regime shifts as ‘dramatic, abrupt changes in the community structure that are persistent in time, encompassing multiple variables, and including key structural species—independently from the...
McPhearson, T., E. Andersson, T. Elmqvist, N. Frantzeskaki. 2015. Resilience of and through urban ecosystem services. Ecosystem Services 12: 152–156.
Cities and urban areas are critical components of global sustainability as loci of sustainability progress and drivers of global transformation, especially in terms of energy efficiency, climate change adaptation, and social innovation. However, urban ecosystems have not been incorporated adequately into urban governance and planning for resilience despite mounting evidence that urban resident health and wellbeing is closely t...
Martin, R., M. Schlüter. 2015. Combining system dynamics and agent-based modeling to analyze social-ecological interactions; An example from modeling restoration of a shallow lake. Frontiers in Environmental Science 3:66. doi: 10.3389/fenvs.2015.00066
Modeling social-ecological interactions between humans and ecosystems to analyze their implications for sustainable management of social-ecological systems (SES) has multiple challenges. When integrating social and ecological dynamics, which are often studied separately, one has to deal with different modeling paradigms, levels of analysis, temporal and spatial scales, and data availabilities in the social and ecological domai...
Malinga, R., L.J. Gordon, G. Jewitt, R. Lindborg. 2015. Mapping ecosystem services across scales and continents: A review. Ecosystem Services 13: 57–63.
Tremendous progress in ecosystem service mapping across the world has moved the concept of ecosystem services forward towards an increasingly useful tool for policy and decision making. There is a pressing need to analyse the various spatial approaches used for the mapping studies. We reviewed ecosystem services mapping literature in respect to spatial scale, world distribution, and types of ecosystem services considered. We...
Lucas, R., A. Kuchenbuch, I. Fetzer, H. Harms, S. Kleinsteuber. 2015. Long-term monitoring reveals stable and remarkably similar microbial communities in parallel full-scale biogas reactors digesting energy crops. FEMS Microbiology Ecology 91(3) DOI: 10.1093/femsec/fiv004
Biogas is an important renewable energy carrier. It is a product of stepwise anaerobic degradation of organic materials by highly diverse microbial communities forming complex interlinking metabolic networks. Knowledge about the microbial background of long-term stable process performance in full-scale reactors is crucial for rationally improving the efficiency and reliability of biogas plants. To generate such knowledge, in...
