Book excerpt: Excerpt from Marine Ecosystem Modeling: Proceedings From a Workshop Held April 6-8, 1982, Frederick, MD Marine ecosystem modeling has evolved significantly since Fleming (1939) formulated and published his phytoplankton population dynamics model for the English Channel. Aside from the variation in modeling approaches and techniques, the change has been most apparent in two areas: (1) model complexity and resolution and (2) model application. Model development in the first area is a natural outgrowth of computer technology and advances in marine ecology. The second area, model application, is a direct consequence of the national environmental awareness of the late 1960s and the ensuing environmental legislation of the early 1970s. A new category of models has been developed - predictive models for application to environmental impact assessment and natural resource management. Management of marine resources, especially living resources, within a framework of sound environmental and economic practices and principles is difficult and complex. Vast amounts of multidisciplinary data must be collected, analyzed, interpreted, assimilated, and forged into a reasonable and workable management plan. These plans should (1) prevent irreversible or unacceptable degradation of the environment, (2) deter overexploitation of valuable resources, (3) minimize multiple use conflicts, and (4) provide alternative management strategies designed to protect the environment. The decisionmaking process is complicated by the need to develop plans before the environment is insulted. Resource managers could easily be overwhelmed by the volume and diversity of data and information necessary to today's environmental planning process. They need tools which will integrate existing knowledge into useful frames of reference. Additionally, they need tools which will allow them to assess in advance possible consequences of the various management options. Ecosystem modeling is such a tool. Obviously it is not the only tool, but it is one which can be of great assistance to the decisionmaker. Wise use of ecosystem modeling requires awareness of the limitations and capabilities of modeling. The participants in this workshop have provided, and, I hope will continue to provide much needed guidance and insight.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 550 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ecotoxicology is the science that seeks to predict the impacts of chemi cals upon ecosystems. This involves describing and predicting ecological changes ensuing from a variety of human activities that involve release of xenobiotic and other chemicals to the environment. A fundamental principle of ecotoxicology is embodied in the notion of change. Ecosystems themselves are constantly changing due to natural processes, and it is a challenge to distinguish the effects of anthropogenic activities against this background of fluctuations in the natural world. With the frustratingly large, diverse, and ever-emerging sphere of envi ronmental problems that ecotoxicology must address, the approaches to individual problems also must vary. In part, as a consequence, there is no established protocol for application of the science to environmental prob lem-solving. The conceptual and methodological bases for ecotoxicology are, how ever, in their infancy, and thus still growing with new experiences. In deed, the only robust generalization for research on different ecosystems and different chemical stresses seems to be a recognition of the necessity of an ecosystem perspective as focus for assessment. This ecosystem basis for ecotoxicology was the major theme of a previous pUblication by the Ecosystems Research Center at Cornell University, a special issue of Environmental Management (Levin et al. 1984). With that effort, we also recognized an additional necessity: there should be a continued develop ment of methods and expanded recognition of issues for ecotoxicology and for the associated endeavor of environmental management.
