Robust tools are needed to prioritise the management of invasive non-native species (INNS). Risk assessment is commonly used INNS, but fails take into account feasibility management. provides a structured evaluation options, has received little attention date. We present risk scheme assess eradicating INNS that can be used, in conjunction with existing schemes, support prioritisation. The Non-Native Management (NNRM) applied any predefined area and taxa. It uses semi-quantitative response...
Abstract Aim Kelp forests provide habitat and food that supports a high diversity of flora fauna. While numerous studies have described macroinvertebrates associated with kelp blades, stipes holdfasts, key forest microhabitat, epilithic understory algae, remains poorly studied. Here, we used macroecological approach artificial seaweed units (ASUs) to explore the effects ocean climate, wave exposure complexity on algal macroinvertebrate assemblages within Laminaria hyperborea in United...
Abstract Kelp forests are extensive, widely distributed and highly productive. However, despite their importance, reliable estimates of net primary productivity (NPP) currently unknown for most species regions. In particular, how performance subsequent NPP change throughout a range is lacking. Here, we attempted to resolve this by examining growth the boreal kelp, Laminaria digitata, from centre trailing edge regions in United Kingdom. During peak season (March/April), range-centre...
Abstract Coastal systems provide many cultural ecosystem services (CES) to humans. Fewer studies have focused solely on CES, while those comparing CES across countries are even rarer. In the case of shellfish, considerable focus has been placed nutrient remediation, with relatively little provided, despite strong historical, cultural, social and economic links between shellfish coastal communities. The provided by common cockle, Cerastoderma edule , recently described, yet benefits from...
