Enclosed Experimental Ecosystems and Scale: Tools for Understanding and Managing Coastal Ecosystems provides scientists, managers, and policy makers with an introduction to what has been termed the "problem of scale", and presents information that will allow for improved design and interpretation of enclosed experimental aquatic ecosystems.

The 5/5(1). Enclosed experimental ecosystems (mesocosms and microcosms) have become critical research tools because they provide a degree of control not achievable through field experiments.

Enclosed Experimental Ecosystems and Scale: Tools for Understanding and Managing Coastal Ecosystems provides scientists, managers, and policy makers with an introduction to what has been termed the "problem of scale", and presents information that will allow for improved design and interpretation of enclosed experimental aquatic ecosystems.

Enclosed ecosystem experiments have gained in popularity as research tools in ecological science, particularly in the study of coastal aquatic environments. These systems provide scientists with a degree of experimental control that is not achievable through field experiments.

About this book Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Coastal and Estuarine Studies Series, Volume The application of mesocosms, defined in this report as artificial experimental enclosures ranging in size from 1 m 3 to 10 m 3, to address various problems in the marine sciences has been a relatively recent development.

Enclosed experimental ecosystems have become critical research tools because they provide a degree of control not achievable through field experiments.

Yet to date, techniques for systematically extrapolating results to larger, more open, more biodiverse, and more heterogeneous ecosystems in nature have not been well developed.

).Global soil C stocks follow a right-skew distribution (Fig. A), meaning that the majority of SOC is stored in a few locations, while most other places on Earth store a relative low amount of carbon in their phical location per se cannot be considered a major driver of soil C storage.

However, experimental ecosystems should be constructed to include organisms and environmental conditions relevant for addressing specific research questions.

Experience suggests that there are a host of issues, questions, and decisions that must be considered in the design of any enclosed experimental aquatic ecosystem. Enclosed Experimental Ecosystems and Scale: and presents information that will allow for improved design and interpretation of enclosed experimental aquatic ecosystems.

[John E Petersen;] -- The environmental challenges now facing humanity, ranging from climate change to urbanization to invasive species to agricultural and industrial pollutants are particularly acute in the coastal zone.

Enclosed experimental ecosystems, if they are to mimic the function of natural ecosystems, also must mimic natural turbulence and its effects. Large-scale velocity gradients and unstable buoyancy fluxes generate turbulent mixing in nature, most often at the surface and bottom boundaries and in .Well-designed enclosed systems incorporate ecological interactions and relevant physicochemical processes to determine the interaction between natural and anthropogenic gradients.

Given the urgency and complexity of questions being addressed by contemporary marine ecologists, mesocosms or medium-sized experimental systems may be an ideal.Yet to date, techniques for systematically extrapolating results from small-scale experimental ecosystems to larger, more open, more biodiverse, and more heterogeneous ecosystems in .
