Patterns in diversity and function of benthic fauna in a coastal system under environmental change
(Åbo Akademi - Åbo Akademi University, 2017-03-10)
Increasing changes in environmental conditions are reshaping marine ecosystems and their communities on a global scale. Coastal areas are particularly vulnerable as environmental stressors have a stronger impact due to the ...
Copepods in a changing sea : ocean acidification, long-term changes and short-term variability
(Åbo Akademi - Åbo Akademi University, 2017-05-19)
The rapid increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide is causing global warming but also changes in the ocean chemistry. When carbon dioxide dissolves in seawater it changes the carbonate chemistry towards lower levels of ...
From genes to communities : stress tolerance in eelgrass (Zostera marina)
(Åbo Akademi - Åbo Akademi University, 2014-10-31)
Shallow coastal areas are dynamic habitats that are affected by a variety of abiotic and biotic factors. In addition to the natural environmental stress, estuarine and coastal seagrass ecosystems are exposed to effects of ...
Macroalgae across environmental gradients : tools for managing rocky coastal areas of the northern Baltic Sea
(Åbo Akademi - Åbo Akademi University, 2014-11-21)
Macroalgae are the main primary producers of the temperate rocky shores providing a three-dimensional habitat, food and nursery grounds for many other species. During the past decades, the state of the coastal waters has ...
Interpreting marine benthic ecosystem functioning in coastal waters: validating the biological trait concept
(Åbo Akademi - Åbo Akademi University, 2014-03-21)
Coastal areas harbour high biodiversity, but are simultaneously affected by rapid degradations of species and habitats due to human interactions. Such alterations also affect the functioning of the ecosystem, which is ...
Dispersal and metacommunity dynamics in a soft-sediment benthic system : how well is the seafloor connected?
(Åbo Akademi - Åbo Akademi University, 2012-12-19)
Biodiversity and ecosystem functioning in angiosperm communities in the Baltic Sea
(Åbo Akademi - Åbo Akademi University, 2013-02-22)
The biological variation in nature is called biodiversity. Anthropogenic pressures have led to a loss of biodiversity, alarming scientists as to what consequences declining diversity has for ecosystem functioning. The ...
Disturbance and ecosystem functioning : the role of changes in benthic biological traits
(Åbo Akademi - Åbo Akademi University, 2013-06-14)
Rapid changes in biodiversity are occurring globally, as a consequence of anthropogenic disturbance. This has raised concerns, since biodiversity is known to significantly contribute to ecosystem functions and services. ...
Environmental Drivers Influencing the Carbon Sink Capacity of Eelgrass (Zostera marina)
(Åbo Akademi - Åbo Akademi University, 2019-06-14)
The accelerating increase of atmospheric CO2 concentrations have caused regime shifts and changes in the net carbon balance of both terrestrial and marine systems worldwide. Blue carbon, the organic carbon sequestered by ...
