本合集诚邀各界人士投稿,探讨鲸类介导的营养物质转移的机制、规模及其生态后果,包括它们在生物泵、昼夜垂直迁徙相互作用、跨生态系统补贴、碳循环和生态系统恢复力等方面的作用。我们欢迎涵盖生态学、海洋学、生物地球化学、保护科学和模型构建等领域的研究。
This Collection invites research on the mechanisms, magnitudes, and ecological consequences of nutrient transfer mediated by whales, including their roles in the biological pump, diel vertical migration interactions, cross‑ecosystem subsidies, carbon cycling, and ecosystem resilience. We invite studies spanning ecology, oceanography, biogeochemistry, conservation science, and modelling.
