These coarse-scale effects, in addition to the facilitation of neighboring plants, make hydraulic lift a community - and ecosystem-level process.    From Wordnik.com.  [Species influences upon ecosystem function] Reference

The latter includes local and widespread damage from industry, and the ecosystem-level effects of reindeer grazing and trampling, as well as poaching.    From Wordnik.com.  [Climate change impacts on the Yamal Nenets of northwest Siberia] Reference

As biogeochemical cycles are defined by the exchange of matter between organisms and their environment, they are classic examples of ecosystem-level proceses.    From Wordnik.com.  [Ecosystem] Reference

Hence, mechanisms acting at scales from tissue-level biochemistry to ecosystem-level nutrient cycling exert influences to equilibrate carbon, nitrogen, and water fluxes in mature ecosystems.    From Wordnik.com.  [Climate change in relation to carbon uptake and carbon storage in the Arctic] Reference

This monitoring program combines the water chemistry, chlorophyll a, and suspended sediment monitoring data with other existing ecological data to provide ecosystem-level information and understanding.    From Wordnik.com.  [North Inlet-Winyah Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve, South Carolina] Reference

Direct management of invasive species will become an even more important biodiversity conservation response, typically calling for an ecosystem-level response if the invasive species has become established.    From Wordnik.com.  [Ecosystems and Human Well-being~ Biodiversity Synthesis~ Key Questions on Biodiversity in the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment] Reference

Assessment of the impacts of proposed industrial development on the ecosystems of the Arctic Refuge was compounded by the difficulty of distinguishing between ecosystem-level effects resulting from climate change influences versus those resulting from the proposed development (Fig. 11.8).    From Wordnik.com.  [Climate change and terrestrial wildlife management in the Alaskan Arctic] Reference

Wildlife management and conservation in an Arctic under the influence of climate change must be adaptive to ecosystem-level changes that are not feasibly reversible within the human timescale, such as the northward movement of boreal ecotones into the Arctic along with the associated wildlife.    From Wordnik.com.  [Management and conservation of wildlife in the Arctic] Reference

To date, many of the insights as to how arctic food webs will respond (directly or indirectly) to climate change effects have been obtained from either descriptive studies or a select few manipulative/experimental studies where ecosystem-level or food web manipulations were conducted and response variables measured.    From Wordnik.com.  [Changes in aquatic biota and ecosystem structure and function in the Arctic] Reference

The philosophy of GBRMPA and of the zoning plan is underpinned by four principles: ecosystem-level management; conservation and reasonable use, providing for sustainable use and enjoyment of the GBR; stakeholder involvement in planning and implementation of management; and monitoring and regular evaluation of management effectiveness.    From Wordnik.com.  [Ecosystem-based management] Reference

My own research focuses on evaluating population - and ecosystem-level ecological processes of coastal marine species and systems, developing and evaluating the science and methods for managing and conserving marine resources (particularly marine protected areas and EBM), and determining factors that control food web structure and dynamics.    From Wordnik.com.  [Contributor: Ben Halpern] Reference

The company also launched e-ereader apps for other platforms, so that it could compete on an ecosystem-level as well as a device level.    From Wordnik.com.  [Fast Company] Reference

Our experimental results varied substantially from the few other large-scale experiments, which suggests that ecosystem-level responses to nutrient enrichment are largely context-dependent.    From Wordnik.com.  [Science Blog - Science news straight from the source] Reference

But whereas species redundancy could also be critical for robustness of ecosystem functions, differences in redundancy might be an emergent property rather than an ecosystem-level adaptation, because selection generally acts at lower levels (but see.    From Wordnik.com.  [Citizendium, the Citizens' Compendium - Recent changes [en]] Reference
