When doing research on marine ecosystem, researchers has figured out a method of setting ecological model based on experimental observations. This paper establishes the marine environmental health assessment model; primarily covering Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), to analyze the evaluation index and weight of the marine ecosystem, then forms the marine ecosystems integrated evaluation model. The feasibility of the model is assessed and predicted by examples. This model also has engineering application vital significance on the evaluation and prediction of marine ecosystem.

Abstract:
This paper approaches ecological data analysis from a different vantage point and has implications for ecological risk assessment. Despite all the advances in theoretical ecology over the past four decades and the huge amounts of data that have been collected in various marine monitoring programs, we still do not know enough about how marine ecosystems function to be able to make valid predictions of impacts before they occur, accurately assess ecosystem ``health,'' or perform valid risk assessments. Comparisons are made among the fields of psychology, social science, and ecology in terms of t

The purpose of this study is to assess the impact on tourism activities in Tioman Island Marine Park by using Life Cycle Assessment theory. This assessment is capable of providing new insights into environmental impact and offering benefits to the policy makers in planning and monitoring tourism activities in protected areas. The results of each assessment case indicated that transportation to/from the island, accommodation, snorkeling activities, and waterfall trekking activities leave negative impacts on human health, ecosystem quality and resources.

Abstract “Ocean connectivity” is a dynamic and rapidly evolving field of research in marine science, partly because there is an increasing demand for information on connectivity that informs effective assessment and management of marine resources. Achieving this will require a better alignment between ocean connectivity tools and developments and the needs and challenges of assessments and conservation. For these reasons, the ICES Journal of Marine Science solicited contributions to the article theme set (TS), “Beyond ocean connectivity.” We briefly summarize the nine articles that appear here

Abstract:
Quantifying spatiotemporal dynamics of ecosystem services is an emerging approach for informing and managing trade-offs among cumulative or competing activities in marine environments. As one proxy for ecosystem services and benefits, we quantified and mapped catch and economic value of California commercial fisheries removals using a 75-year spatially explicit time series. From 1931 to 2005, approximately 88% of the catch was attributed to finfish. However, there has been an increasing reliance of proportional value from invertebrates over the last 25 years.

Index and methods for assessment is a foundation of precise qualitative and quantitative analysis for ecosystem damage caused by oil spill in ocean. The connotation of ecosystem damage assessment of oil spill in ocean is put forward based on marine ecosystem service value theory and damage mechanism and feature of oil spill. Using frequency analysis and expert advice method, assessment index system is set up, which contain seven indexes of fishery resources supply, gas regulation, waste disposal, disaster defense, entertainment, biodiversity conservation and ecological restoration.

Abstract. Reactive iron (Fe) oxides are vital for long-term soil or sediment organic carbon (SOC) storage. However, the patterns and drivers of Fe-associated organic carbon (Fe-OC) over global geographic scales under various ecosystem types remain controversial. Here, we provided a systematic assessment of the distribution patterns and determinants of Fe-OC content and its contribution to SOC (fFe-OC) by assembling a global dataset comprising 862 observations from 325 sites in distinct ecosystems. We found that Fe-OC content across global ecosystems ranged from 0 to 83.3 g kg−1 (fFe-OC ranged

Oil spills pose significant threats to marine ecosystems, and while existing tools simulate spill dispersion and predict impacts, they often lack full integration of accident specifics, detailed drift simulations, and thorough impact analyses.

The EcoSensitivity system addresses these gaps by combining the Accidental Damage and Spill Assessment Model (ADSAM), oil drift modeling, and the PlanWis
