  1. 6. Connections between biodiversity and ecosystem functioning in large-scale natural ecosystems

    Författare :James Hagan; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; biodiversity; ecology; ecosystem function; ecosystem process;

    Sammanfattning : Billions of years of evolution have given us a planet that supports a remarkable diversity of life. Estimates for the number of Eukaryotic species frequently number in the millions and the Prokaryotes are much more diverse than that. This biodiversity makes up the ecosystems that we, as humans, rely on to sustain almost every aspect of our lives. LÄS MER

  3. 7. Ecosystem processes and biodiversity : theoretical studies and experiments with an aquatic model ecosystem

    Författare :Jon Norberg; Michael L Pace; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; Systems Ecology; systemekologi;

    Sammanfattning : Today, human enterprise has implications for all of nature, from the well being of the smallest organism, to the alteration of global biogeochemical cycles. To understand how major ecosystem processes are affected by environmental changes and decreasing biodiversity is crucial as many of natures services depend of such processes. LÄS MER

  4. 8. Towards an integrated ecology through mechanistic modelling of ecosystem structure and functioning

    Författare :Thomas Hickler; Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap; []

    Sammanfattning : Plant physiology, population dynamics and the structure and functioning of ecosystems are closely interrelated. However, these processes are often investigated independently within different subdisciplines of ecology. LÄS MER
