Biological coupling to physical forcing on shallow water ecosystems: using observations to reveal patterns and test mechanisms
Session ID#: 85062
Session Description:
Marine ecological processes are forced by physical dynamics, yet understanding biological-physical coupling, particularly in nearshore and shallow coastal systems, presents large logistic and conceptual challenges. Ecosystem dynamics reflect multiple biological and physical processes spanning many scales of variability. Linked biological-physical processes influence population, community and ecosystem dynamics and can modulate the effects of large-scale disturbances on shallow-water ecosystems. For example, temperature variability can mitigate coral bleaching, surface waves elicit distinct larval behaviors, and water column stratification mediates cross-shore larval distributions, transport, and intertidal settlement. Identifying the pertinent ecological and hydrodynamic processes, and appraising their relative contribution, requires demanding field observations and time-series data collection. Ecologists increasingly use numerical simulation models to describe near-shore hydrodynamics and ecological dynamics. However, model development depends on including relevant physical processes and using empirical estimates of key biological rates and behaviors, often requiring field observations. Such observations and estimates are difficult to obtain, and frequently, numerical simulation models are untested. This session invites presentations on observational, experimental and time-series approaches that improve our understanding of fundamental biological-physical processes in shallow coastal systems from the surf zone to the shelf edge.
