Abstract:

An ecosystem-based approach to the management of marine ecosystems is the goal of the recent European Integrated Maritime Policy, known as the Blue Book (2007), shortly followed by the new Marine Strategy Framework Directive (2008/56/EC). It is recognized that management should take into account the processes taking place within, and the interactions between ecological, social and economic systems to be effective and sustainable. Yet a quantitative knowledge about such processes and the interactions between marine ecosystems and socio-economic systems is often weak or lacking. The goal of th

Abstract:

Dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) represents a major pool of fixed, reactive nitrogen in marine systems. It is now recognized that this pool can support primary production and the ability of some algal species to exploit DON compounds as sources of Nitrogen (N) may indicate that specific DON components can exert selective pressure on the composition of the phytoplankton community. In this study the ability of monocultures of ecologically-relevant algal species from the English Channel (Emiliania huxleyi, Micromonas pusilla, Alexandrium minutum and Chaetoceros peruvianus) to grow with DON as the

Abstract:

Coastal seagrass ecosystems are complex habitats that are increasingly influenced by human perturbations. Disturbances that affect the strength of bottom-up (i.e. resource availability) and top-down (i.e. consumer) controls may also influence biomass distribution between trophic levels, sediment biogeochemistry, and seagrass ecosystem metabolism. Here, I experimentally tested how top-down and bottom-up perturbations interact with community structure (diversity, food chain length of epibenthic consumers) to alter sediment biogeochemistry and ecosystem metabolism in an experimental eelgrass (Zos

Abstract:

I cambiamenti climtici minacciano la biodiversità, il funzionamento degli ecosistemi e la vita umana su scala globale. Gli oceani mitigano l'impatto dei cambiamenti globali dovuti alle attività umane, ma diversi fattori di stress, come variazioni di temperatura, acidificazione, scioglimento dei ghiacci e deossigenazione, minacciano i sistemi marini. Studi recenti hanno svelato impatti negativi dovuti a singoli fattori di stress, ma gli effetti sinergici di più fattori di stress concomitanti sono largamente sconosciuti, soprattutto per i sistemi bentonici marini.

Abstract:

The Northern Adriatic Sea summarizes all different critical elements of a ‘typical’ coastal area, such: important trawling activity in the inshore area, presence of aquaculture activities (mussels farms), widely distributed along the coast, presence of small scale fisheries activities, seaside touristic pressures, extended seaport activities. Among these pressures the project aims to investigate acquaculture and small scale fisheries activities within three miles from the coast.

Abstract:

Intermittent rivers and ephemeral streams (IRES) are watercourses that naturally and periodically cease to flow. They represent more than half of the global river network and are expanding due to global change. In this thesis, I investigate the mechanisms linking flow intermittence with biodiversity and ecosystem functioning, which sustain biogeochemical cycles and energy transfer in the system. Chapter 1 analyzes the effects of hydrology, micro-habitat (surface and subsurface zones) and biotic features on organic matter decomposition and fungal biomass, in 20 streams. In Chapter 2, I assess t

Abstract:

Faced with the global overexploitation of marine resources and the rapid degradation of ecosystems’ integrity, many states agreed to the principle of an ecosystem approach to fisheries (EAF). In fact, overfishing induces strong decrease of targeted species biomass, which impact predators, their competitors, prey, and ultimately the ecosystems’ trophic networks. Thus, it is an important challenge to understand the trophic functioning of marine ecosystems and the related impacts of fisheries. In this spirit, my thesis was developed to address concerns about the potential impacts of fisheries on

Abstract:

Multiple dimensions of biodiversity within and across producer and consumer guilds in the food web affect an ecosystem’s functionality and stability. Tropical and subtropical aquatic ecosystems, which are extremely diverse, have received much less attention than terrestrial ecosystems in regards to the effects of biodiversity on ecosystem functioning. We conducted a field experiment that tested for effects of macrophyte functional diversity on diversity and stability of associated fish assemblages in floodplain lakes of the Upper Paraná River floodplain, Brazil.

Abstract:

An increase in cephalopod abundance worldwide has been observed over recent decades, possibly a function of cephalopods’ response to the effects of climate change and the reduction in predation by human exploitation on predators of marine systems. Additionally, there has been a renewal of fisheries interest due to the development of markets for cephalopod products and the reduction of finfish stocks. Assessing their role in food webs is thus essential for understanding and anticipating upcoming changes in ecosystem functioning and services. From this perspective, ecosystem models can be used a

The aim of this study was to obtain an understanding of the ecosystem functioning of selected estuaries on the east coast of South Africa and to represent their dynamics through ecosystem models. The responses of water column nutrients, plankton density and biomass to inlet phase changes for 16 temporarily open/closed estuaries (TOCEs) in South Africa were first determined.
