“…The stressors that were most frequently studied in this way were climate, invasive species, and eutrophication, each with six studies. Studies investigating climate effects compared Ecopath models, e.g., for different ENSO phases (Jorge-Romero et al, 2021;Yin et al, 2021;Tam et al, 2008), before and after observed ecosystem changes attributed to climate change (Chevillot et al, 2019), and during multi-year periods of different sea surface temperature variability (Hernández-Padilla et al, 2021). Studies investigating the effects of invasive species compared Ecopath models for times before and after the arrival of the new species (Yin et al, 2022;Corrales et al, 2017b;Akoglu et al;2014, Stewart andSprules, 2011).…”

“…Wang et al (2019) constructed Ecopath models using data collected before and after the construction of a wind farm and identified ecosystem-level changes such as reduced transfer efficiency, but increased recycling. Effects of climate have been investigated by comparing Ecopath models for El Niño vs La Niña years, before and after observed ecosystem changes attributed to climate change, and during multi-year periods of different sea surface temperature variability (Chevillot et al, 2019;Hernández-Padilla et al, 2021;Jorge-Romero et al, 2021;Yin et al, 2021). In the future, similar before-after approaches could be used to study the impacts of extreme weather events associated with climate change (e.g., marine heat waves).…”

Understanding the cumulative effects of multiple stressors is a research priority in environmental science. Ecological models are a key component of tackling this challenge because they can simulate interactions between the components of an ecosystem. Here, we ask, how has the popular modeling platform Ecopath with Ecosim – well-known for applications in fisheries – been used to model human impacts related to climate change, land and sea use, pollution, and invasive species? We conducted an exhaustive, systematic literature review encompassing 163 studies covering mostly aquatic ecosystems. The most modeled stressors were climate change (59 studies), habitat loss (21), species introductions (21), and eutrophication (19), using a range of modeling techniques. Despite this apparently comprehensive coverage, we identify four substantial gaps. First, only 13% of studies investigated three or more stressors, with most studies focusing on single stressors. Compounding this incomplete view, many studies modeled only one of many pathways through which each stressor is known to affect ecosystems. Second, various methods have been applied to define environmental response functions representing the effects of single stressors on species groups. These functions can have a large effect on the timing and magnitude of ecological changes, but best practices for deriving them are yet to emerge. Third, human dimensions of environmental change – except for fisheries – were rarely considered. For example, only 3% of studies reported indicators representing non-extractive ecosystem services. Fourth, only 3% of studies used statistical research designs that allow attribution of ecosystem changes to stressors’ direct effects and interactions, such as factorial (computational) experiments. None made full use of the statistical possibilities that arise when simulations can be repeated 1,000s of times with controlled changes to the inputs. We argue that all four gaps are feasibly filled by integrating ecological modeling with advances in other subfields of environmental science and in computational statistics.
