Full textI cambiamenti ambientali in atto richiedono un miglioramento delle conoscenze su struttura e funzionamento dei sistemi naturali attraverso un approccio olistico. Una visione d’insieme potrebbe aiutare a comprendere meglio la risposta degli ecosistemi alle perturbazioni. E’ stato provato che lo studio dei network ecologici è utile per comprendere la struttura e le dinamiche degli ecosistemi. In questa tesi presento due tecniche modellistiche: l’analisi topologica di food web (capitolo 2) e la loop analysis (capitolo 3 e 4). Entrambi gli studi privilegiano l’analisi qualitativa a quella quantitativa per superare la mancanza di dati. Nel capitolo 2 ho considerato alcune caratteristiche topologiche per lo studio del funzionamento dell’ecosistema di Baja California Sur. Ho identificato, attraverso gli indici di centralità, le specie chiave e analizzato la resilienza del sistema alla rimozione delle specie definite più vulnerabili (es. precedente classificazione di alto, medio e basso rischio). Gli effetti sono stati valutati attraverso indici globali. I risultati evidenziano la resilienza strutturale della food web alle rimozioni, ma anche che la rimozione delle specie più vulnerabili cambia significatamente alcuni attributi del sistema rispetto alle rimozioni random. Nel capitolo 3 ho valutato l’evoluzione dell’ecosistema del Mar Nero nel periodo 1960-1990 attraverso la loop analysis. I modelli qualitativi indagati ricostruiscono la struttura dei legami dell’intera comunità. Ho validato i risultati emersi con indagini statistiche sulle serie temporali di biomasse per capire come la struttura delle interazioni può spiegare le variazioni nei livelli di biomassa delle variabili e quali ipotesi possono essere fatte sui drivers e i meccanismi responsabili dei cambiamenti. Nel capitolo 4 ho costruito un database di food web reali e random, che ho studiato attraverso la loop analysis, per capire come un input positivo sulle specie basali e apicali si ripercuote rispettivamente sulle specie apicali e basali. Lo scopo era quello di identificare possibili differenze nella propagazione degli effetti indiretti in risposta a input positivi che si verificano agli estremi delle food web. Ho confrontato sistemi reali (marini, terrestri e di acqua dolce) con networks random. Ho trovato una sovrarappresentazione di predizioni positive (aumento dell’abbondanza delle specie) e una sottorappresentazione di predizione negative per le specie apicali a seguito di un input positivo sulle specie basali, sia nei sistemi reali che in quelli random. Considerando questi ultimi lo stesso trend (sovrarappresentazione di segni positivi e sottorappresentazione di segni negativi) è stato trovato nelle predizioni riguardanti la risposta delle specie basali a seguito di un input sulle specie apicali. Ho mostrato che questi risultati sono dovuti alla struttura topologica delle food web (es. il numero e la lunghezza dei percorsi trofici) piuttosto che alla forza delle interazioni. Sembra che le risposte delle specie apicali a seguito di perturbazioni delle specie basali siano prevedibili, al contrario delle risposte delle specie basali a seguito di un input sulle apicali. Questi risultati sono particolarmente rilevanti e interessanti considerando l’importanza delle specie basali e apicali come target degli impatti antropici. Questa tesi contribuisce allo sviluppo di un percorso verso: 1)la comprensione degli effetti di disturbo sulle comunità ecologiche e sugli ecosistemi; 2)una migliore comprensione delle interazioni di controllo top-down e bottom-up; 3)la capacità di affrontare l'incertezza per valutare la risposta delle comunità e degli ecosistemi di fronte al disturbo. Nonostante l’uso di metodologie relativamente semplici che si concentrano sulla disposizione qualitativa delle interazioni trofiche, ho dimostrato che vi sono casi in cui anche lo studio di dati qualitativi può essere di cruciale importanza in termini di gestione.

Full textEcological restoration is considered as one approach to slow down the loss of biodiversity. Changes in land-uses may be an opportunity to restore ecosystems degraded by agricultural activities. This is the case of the participatory project of the Cassaïre site, located in the Rhône delta, which aims at recreating Mediterranean ecosystems favorable to hunting on former ricefields. Two ecosystems are targeted, temporary wetlands and meso-xeric grasslands. The aims of the thesis are to highlight the main drivers of plant community establishment, to test restoration techniques and to evaluate their effects on plant communities but also on other compartments of the ecosystem. In the absence of target species in the regional species pool, the introduction of these species is necessary in addition to the restoration of abiotic conditions. Topsoil removal and soil transfer for wetland communities allow an increase of target species and of similarity with the reference community. This technique appears to be less relevant for aquatic invertebrate community. The contrasted successful of soil transfer highlights the risks of favoring some indicators of restoration success, as they may not reflect the entire ecosystem. Topsoil removal and hay transfer seem to be a relevant combination to recreate grassland plant community, although the results obtained are less convincing than for temporary wetland, probably due to high competition. Our results, obtained in mesocosms, even if they relate only to the early stages of recovery, provide restoration techniques that seem relevant to establish some components of the two reference ecosystems. These results, by their limitations, however, suggest focusing on in situ conservation of natural habitats rather than trying to restore them after they were destroyed.Keywords: Biodiversity, Community ecology, Restoration

Full textAs global change threatens ecosystems worldwide with biodiversity loss, studying ecosystem stability has never been so important. Most ecosystem stability studies have heretofore focused on single ecosystems and disturbances, usually following the behaviour of particular ecosystem properties, such as productivity and diversity indices. However, ecosystems are subjected to multiple disturbances simultaneously and at large spatial scales different ecosystems co-occur, each responding specifically to any given disturbance. Hence, the study of ecosystem stability needs to move towards approaches that can be informative at broad scales that are relevant for ecosystem management. This thesis is a step forward in this direction. Here, I used several approaches to assess how multiple global change drivers, such as climate change, extreme whether events, and land-use changes, affect ecosystem stability at landscape and larger spatial scales, and from single to multi-trophic level perspectives.I begin by highlighting the importance of considering the interactions between gradual and extreme climate changes, in conjunction with land-use changes, for the management of highly diverse landscapes, such as the European Alps. Using a spatially explicit dynamic vegetation model, I show that increasing drought frequency and intensity will likely change the trends of treeline movement expected under future gradual climate warming scenarios. I then investigated whether drought and gradual climate warming caused plant communities to shift in different ways, using n-dimensional hypervolumes to describe community states in multidimensional space. Drought effects on forest and grassland structure did not greatly change the long-term trajectories caused by gradual climate warming alone, but showed that forest communities became more unstable than grasslands in the future. However, focusing on vegetation dynamics remains limited to a single trophic level. Because trophic networks represent energy flows in an ecosystem, studying their stability to disturbances should provide more accurate information on overall ecosystem stability. Hence, I also investigated trophic network stability in European protected areas to future scenarios of land-use and climate changes. My results show that these trophic networks may be highly sensitive to climate changes, even if no land-use changes occur. Importantly, I show that considering different dispersal limitations will greatly impact network robustness, and stress the importance of accounting for these processes in ecosystem management.In my thesis, I demonstrate that ecosystem stability concepts can and should be applied at scales that are relevant for management, while embracing the multidimensional nature of ecosystems

Full text(Abstract of the thesis) Having noted the failure of its 2010 targets for biodiversity, including, among others, the inability of the Ecological Footprint to account for biodiversity, the Convention on Biological Diversity adopted in 2011 "The 2011-2020 Aichi Targets for biodiversity". Among these, objectives 1 and 2 concern awareness of the values of biodiversity, their integration into national and local development planning process, and their incorporation into national accounts. This how these objectives of the CBD converge now with those of the United Nations for the System of Environmental-Economic Accounting (SEEA). This thesis lie within this unified questioning framework. It has the double purpose : (a) of searching for, founding and developing a biophysical measurement unit of biodiversity, characterizing just as well the natural order as the anthropogenic disorder, and (b) to incorporate it into a new physical accounting system, the Ecological balance sheet. The latter is likely to compare, for all territorial scales, the Ecological liability of urban communities, seen as the biophysical reflection of their monetary accounting, to the Ecological asset of their natural spaces, in order to reveal the relationships of cause and effect, and to signify the cumulative impacts of anthropogenic disturbance on the Ecosphere and the Biosphere. In the end, it would have so vocation to enable us to characterize the ways of a truly ecological development of the territories

Full textHuman activities regularly amplify or interfere with top-down and bottom-up forcing on ecosystems. However, the communities' response to these disruptions remains poorly understood. My thesis aims to measure the effects of top-predators and nutrients on the structure and functioning of experimental aquatic ecosystems. I studied in 9.5 m³ pelagic mesocosms the effect of top-down forcing induced by two fish species. I show that these changes in top-predators are accompanied by a profound reorganization of the structure of the planktonic food web. Reorganizations depend in part on the size of organisms and their anti-predatory behaviour, but phylogeny is the most effective way to predict zooplankton response to fish and the resulting cascading effects. I also studied the response to bottom-up forcing by adding phosphorus and nitrogen in 750 m³ macrocosms including a vegetated littoral area. I show that the addition of nutrients has had a significant effect on the biomass of primary producers (biofilm, littoral macrophytes), that the additions induce a higher abundance of juveniles perch but the zooplankton biomass is not modified. The stoichiometry of organisms and bacterial activity were only slightly changed by enrichment. These results suggest that the effects of bottom-up forcings in pelagic environments are well predicted by food chain theory, but at the scale of complex ecosystems, macrophytes and biofilm can strongly reduce the response to enrichment
