IMBER (Ingegrated Marine Biogeochemistry and Ecosystem Research) is an (IGBP )-(SCOR ) sponsored international project focussing on ocean biogeochemical cycles and ecosystems. The goal of IMBER is to investigate the sensitivity of marine biogeochemical cycles and ecosystems to global change, on time scales ranging from years to decades.〔IMBER (2005) Science Plan and Implementation Strategy. IGBP Report N°52, IGBP Secretariat, Stockholm, 76pp.〕 There are currently twenty four nations involved in IMBER scientific research.〔(IMBER National Network )〕 ==Overview== IMBER research seeks to identify the mechanisms by which marine life influences marine biogeochemical cycles, and how these, in turn, influence marine ecosystems. Central to the IMBER goal is the development of a predictive understanding of how marine biogeochemical cycles and ecosystems respond to complex forcings, such as large-scale climatic variations, changing physical dynamics, carbon cycle chemistry and nutrient fluxes, and the impacts of marine harvesting. Changes in marine biogeochemical cycles and ecosystems due to global change will also have consequences for the broader Earth System. An even greater challenge will be drawing together the natural and social science communities to study some of the key impacts and feedbacks between the marine and human systems. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「IMBER」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
