Mesocosm - Wikipedia
网页A mesocosm (meso-or 'medium' and -cosm 'world') is any outdoor experimental system that examines the natural environment under controlled conditions. In this way mesocosm studies provide a link between field surveys and highly controlled laboratory experiments.
Mesocosm - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
网页A mesocosm refers to an outdoor enclosure facility that allows for the simulation of complex exposure dynamics under realistic field conditions, while also providing control over certain parameters of interest. It is used to study the relationship between biodiversity and ecosystem function, as well as the effects of anthropogenic activities ...
Mesocosm Experiments as a Tool for Ecological Climate-Change Research
网页2013年1月1日 · Mesocosm experiments in shallow freshwater ecosystems showed that warming has the potential to simultaneously alter community structure and ecosystem functioning. (A) Experimental setting. (B) Pelagic and benthic size-spectra slopes were steeper in warmed (black triangles) versus ambient communities (grey circles), due to increased abundance of ...
WHAT IS A MESOCOSM? – Mesocosm
网页WHAT IS A MESOCOSM? Aquatic mesocosms, or experimental water enclosures, are designed to provide a limited body of water with close to natural conditions, in which environmental factors can be realistically manipulated. Such mesocosms provide a powerful tool to link between in situ but often only correlative field studies on the one side, and ...
Mesocosm Experiments as a Tool for Ecological Climate-Change Research
网页2013年1月1日 · We employed a novel mesocosm approach to investigate the response of DBP precursors to variability in DOM composition and inorganic nutrients, such as nitrogen and phosphorus, export to lakes. Three distinct pulse event scenarios, mimicking extreme, intermittent, and continuous runoff were studied.
Mesocosms Reveal Ecological Surprises from Climate Change
网页2015年12月17日 · Mesocosm experiments can be used to improve predictions of the impact of climate change on individual species and whole communities by parameterizing metapopulation and metacommunity models and by testing and refining population and community ecology theory. The figure is described in detail in Box 1.
Mesocosms - SpringerLink
网页2022年4月8日 · Mesocosms, also known as “container experiments”, are appealing because they offer precise manipulative control over the factors of interest, but still capture aspects of the natural world. They have been in use in aquatic ecology for many decades and are...
An integrated multiple driver mesocosm experiment reveals the …
网页2022年3月1日 · Here, we conducted a mesocosm experiment with an integrated multiple driver design to assess the impact of future global change scenarios on plankton, a key component of marine food webs.
Mesocosms Reveal Ecological Surprises from Climate Change
网页2015年12月17日 · Two recent studies show how mesocosm experiments can hasten understanding of the ecological consequences of climate change on species’ extinction risk, community structure, and ecosystem functions. Using a large-scale terrestrial warming experiment, Bestion et al. provide the first direct evidence …
WHAT IS A MESOCOSM? - 简书
网页2019年8月29日 · what is a mesocosm? mesocosm通常被认为是最接近自然条件的实验生态系统。 mesocosm可以将原位研究与小规模的、远离实际自然条件的室内实验(仅包括一个或几个物种)联系起来。
