A Global Map of Human Impact on Marine Ecosystems
Benjamin S. Halpern,Shaun Walbridge,Kimberly A. Selkoe,Kimberly A. Selkoe,Carrie V. Kappel,Fiorenza Micheli,Caterina D'Agrosa,Caterina D'Agrosa,John F. Bruno,Kenneth S. Casey,Colin M. Ebert,Helen E. Fox,Rod Fujita,Dennis Heinemann,Hunter S. Lenihan,Elizabeth M. P. Madin,Matthew T. Perry,Elizabeth R. Selig,Elizabeth R. Selig,Mark Spalding,Robert S. Steneck,Reg Watson +21 more
TL;DR: This article developed an ecosystem-specific, multiscale spatial model to synthesize 17 global data sets of anthropogenic drivers of ecological change for 20 marine ecosystems and found that no area is unaffected by human influence and that a large fraction (41%) is strongly affected by multiple drivers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impacts of biodiversity loss on ocean ecosystem services.
Boris Worm,Edward B. Barbier,Nicola Beaumont,J. Emmett Duffy,Carl Folke,Carl Folke,Benjamin S. Halpern,Jeremy B. C. Jackson,Jeremy B. C. Jackson,Heike K. Lotze,Fiorenza Micheli,Stephen R. Palumbi,Enric Sala,Kimberley A. Selkoe,John J. Stachowicz,Reg Watson +15 more
TL;DR: The authors analyzed local experiments, long-term regional time series, and global fisheries data to test how biodiversity loss affects marine ecosystem services across temporal and spatial scales, concluding that marine biodiversity loss is increasingly impairing the ocean's capacity to provide food, maintain water quality, and recover from perturbations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Marine Ecoregions of the World: A Bioregionalization of Coastal and Shelf Areas
Mark Spalding,Helen E. Fox,Gerald R. Allen,Nick C. Davidson,Zach A. Ferdaña,Max Finlayson,Benjamin S. Halpern,Miguel A. Jorge,Al Lombana,Sara A. Lourie,Kirsten D. Martin,Edmund McManus,Jennifer L. Molnar,Cheri A. Recchia,James C. Robertson +14 more
TL;DR: The Marine Ecoregions of the World (MEOW) as discussed by the authors is a global system for coastal and shelf areas, which is a nested system of 12 realms, 62 provinces, and 232 ecoregs.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Identification, Conservation, and Management of Estuarine and Marine Nurseries for Fish and Invertebrates
Michael W. Beck,Kenneth L. Heck,Kenneth W. Able,Daniel L. Childers,David B. Eggleston,Bronwyn M. Gillanders,Benjamin S. Halpern,Cynthia G. Hays,Kaho Hoshino,Thomas J. Minello,Robert J. Orth,Peter F. Sheridan,Michael P. Weinstein +12 more
TL;DR: Michael W. Beck, Kenneth L. Heck, Jr., Kenneth W. Heck's son, and Peter F. Sheridan are among the authors of this book, which aims to provide a history of web exceptionalism from 1989 to 2002.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interactive and cumulative effects of multiple human stressors in marine systems
TL;DR: These three-stressor results suggest that synergies may be quite common in nature where more than two stressors almost always coexist and suggest an immediate need to account for stressor interactions in ecological studies and conservation planning.
