Marine systems vary in their sensitivities to perturbation.
Perturbation may be insidious – such as increasing
eutrophication of coastal areas – or it may be dramatic
– such as a response to an oil spillage or some other
accident. Climate change may occur incrementally or it may be
abrupt, and ecosystem resilience is likely to be a complex function
of the interactions of those assemblages or species mediating key
biogeochemical processes.
Biogeochemistry of Marine Systems considers issues of
marine system resilience, focusing on a range of marine systems
that exemplify major global province types but are also interesting
and topical in their own right, on account of their sensitivity to
natural or anthropogenic change or their importance as ecological
service providers. Authors concentrate on advances of the last
decade.
