A cumulative impact assessment tool that combines with EcoFunMAP (Food Web-based Ecosystem Functioning Mapping and Assessment Platform). Integrates food-web modelling with species biomass to map indicators of food-web structure, stability, and functioning at scales relevant for marine spatial planning.
- Ecological
Assesses and visualises the capacity of benthic habitats to sustain key ecosystem functions across the seascape. Standardises the potential contribution of processes such as nutrient cycling, primary production, bioturbation and carbon storage.
- Ecological
Traits are the life-behaviours of organisms (from single-celled plankton to large mammals). Their feeding and living modes are determined by their biological structure and combine to determine overall ecosystem function.
