Invertebrates, ecosystem services and climate change

Abstract: The sustainability of ecosystem services depends on a firm understanding of both how organisms provide these services to humans and how these organisms will be altered with a changing climate. Unquestionably a dominant feature of most ecosystems, invertebrates affect many ecosystem services and are also highly responsive to climate change. However, there is still a basic lack of understanding of the direct and indirect paths by which invertebrates influence ecosystem services, as well as how climate change wil… Show more

“…The direct processing mode includes the use or uptake of organic matter through benthic fauna via ingestion and is used for metabolic growth or released back to the ecosystem through excretion. It is indirectly referring to the repackage or fragment organic matter into smaller particles without ingesting them while fragmenting detritus into fine particles to facilitate the ingestion of other microorganisms (Palmer, 1997;Prather et al, 2013). This can also maintain the microorganism's biodiversity in the sediment which can improve the quality of the soil.…”

“…Bioturbation can increase the nutrient availability. Literature by Prather et al (2013) shows that zoobenthos can redistribute and alter nutrient availability within an ecosystem through the consumption and egestion of plants and detritus, and by physically moving materials and disturbing sediments via bioturbation and bioerosion. It can also lead to increased rates of nitrification of excreted ammonium, increased nitrate flux to anoxic sediment layers, precipitation of excreted phosphorus and the subsequently increase of denitrification rates (Steiner & Roy, 2003).…”

“…The value of angling on a mile of a trout stream in West Virginia is estimated as being as high as $74 000 per annum (Hansen, 2007;Hansen et al, 2008). The number of people estimated to participate in freshwater fishing in the US is 25.4 million, with a value of $31.4 billion entirely reliant on freshwater invertebrates (Prather et al, 2013).…”

“…En algunos casos, sin embargo, algunas especies son consumidas por las poblaciones locales y representan una importante fuente de ingesta de proteínas. El valor de los moluscos para los ecosistemas dulceacuícolas no es apreciado, pero juegan un papel esencial en el funcionamiento y mantenimiento de estos sistemas, principalmente por su contribución a la calidad del agua y reciclado de nutrientes a través de su alimentación por iltro, consumo de algas y en menor medida, como alimento para otras especies en el ecosistema (Vaughn et al 2004, Vaughn 2010, Prather et al 2013. Debido a que la mayoría de las especies en la región de estudio tienen distribuciones relativamente amplias, que van más allá de los Andes Tropicales, solo se evaluaron 34 especies endémicas de moluscos de agua dulce en este proyecto.…”
