Work Package III
Trait-based assessment of biodiversity, ecosystem functions and services
Lead: DTU Aqua
The aim of this work package is to
- Develop and implement trait-based models of biodiversity and use these to explore, quantify and predict changes in the structure of natural communities, functional diversity, and ecosystem services of the Arctic marine ecosystem
- Map out and assess the vulnerability of key marine ecosystem functions under environmental change
- Provide assessment tools for the impact of changing biodiversity and multiple stressors on fisheries through the development and implementation of Bayesian network modelling framework
