How Does Climate Change Affect Emergent Properties of Aquatic Ecosystems?

Abstract: Emergent properties of ecosystems are community attributes, such as structure and function, that arise from connections and interactions (e.g., predator-prey, competition) among populations, species, or assemblages that, when viewed together, provide a holistic representation that is more than the sum of its individual parts. Climate change is altering emergent properties of aquatic ecosystems through component responses, a combination of shifts in species range, phenology, distribution, and productivity, whic… Show more

“…Due to a paucity of sampling data, climate‐driven shifts of freshwater fish distributions in Ontario remain comparatively understudied (Alofs et al, 2014; Heino et al, 2009; Staudinger et al, 2021). Although climate velocity as a benchmark for climate vulnerability has been extensively used to analyse range shifts for a variety of marine and terrestrial species within a continuous environment for dispersal (Burrows et al, 2011; Pinsky et al, 2013), its usage has not yet been evaluated for species in inherently fragmented habitats such as lakes where passive dispersal may be much more difficult (Hodgson et al, 2012; Tonn & Magnuson, 1982).…”

“…For example, northward range expansions of predator fishes may limit similar northward expansions of smaller‐bodied prey fish (Biswas et al, 2017). Moreover, the resulting novel interactions and voracious predation may extirpate native fishes from northern lakes (Cazelles et al, 2019; Staudinger et al, 2021; Van Zuiden et al, 2016). Other factors to dispersal success include life histories, diets and body traits (Angert et al, 2011; Mims et al, 2010; Whitney et al, 2017), with generalist, longer‐living and larger‐bodied species more likely to expand ranges (Alofs et al, 2014; Comte & Olden, 2018).…”

“…Aquatic systems can transform via many mechanisms, but climate change often exacerbates the impacts of other stressors. When these factors interact, aquatic systems can respond in a nonlinear fashion through feedback loops, synergies, threshold effects, and time lag responses, often with uncertain and unpredictable outcomes (Liu et al, 2007; Staudinger et al, 2021). So‐called “regime shifts,” have been documented in both marine and freshwater systems.…”

“…It should be noted that the term “management” implies dominance over the species and ecosystems and Indigenous systems would classify actions more as stewardship (see, e.g., Shultz et al, 2022). For salmon at the southern edge of their range, the RAD approach provided a framework to review management options to address both historical stressors and climate in a systematic way (Lynch et al, 2021; Staudinger et al, 2021; Thompson et al, 2021). Here, we consider the relevance of RAD for sustaining Atlantic and Pacific salmon, their habitats, and connections to people at the southern edges of their range.…”
