Although the terms ‘health’ and ‘healthy’ are often applied to marine ecosystems and communicate information about holistic condition (e.g. as required by the Ecosystem Approach), their meaning is unclear. Ecosystems have been understood in various w... Read More about Framework for understanding marine ecosystem health.

Despite a tendency for the complexity of physical–biological models to increase, simple coupled models remain useful for some applications and can provide insights into crucial links between physical and biological processes. This argument is illustr... Read More about A dynamic CSTT model for the effects of added nutrients in Loch Creran, a shallow fjord.
