Outline

Marine environment is now facing multiple human-induced stresses such as overexploitation, eutrophication, temperature rise and ocean acidification. Concurrent changes in multiple environmental factors make it difficult to predict changes in marine biodiversity due to non-linear effects. To solve this problem, we need to establish methods to manipulate multiple factors in the field and to understand responses of marine communities continuously by real-time monitoring. We will develop FORTES (Free-Ocean Real-Time Experimental System) using seagrass beds as model systems.
