地震
今朝、台南のほうで震度６の大きな地震があったようです。被害は多少出ているようです。台北は震度２ということで何も感じませんでした。
先月にオランダ生態学会があったらしく、そこで生態系機能に関するシンポがあったようです。内容が気になります。
Plenary 2: “Using functional traits to predict ecosystem functions in a changing world”
Since the days of the ‘Rio Summit’ in 1992, the big biodiversity debate has partly shifted from species diversity to /functional /diversity. An exciting new research field addresses the consequences of (changes in) functional diversity, through species traits, for ecosystem functions and processes, and ultimately for ecosystem services to people. This research recognises that species are not merely numbers but community members with specific qualities and roles in biogeochemical and watercycling involving for instance carbon capture, trophic transfer, decomposition, fire regimes and water purification and storage. We will show through concepts and empirical examples how (climate-driven) changes in the functional trait composition of organisms in ecosystems have knock-on effects on ecosystem services and climate itself.
