To develop forecasts of ecological changes we need to: 1) increase to understanding of ecosystem composition, structure and functioning, 2) expand ecosystem monitoring and apply advanced scientific information to make these complex data widely available, and 3) develop and improve forecast and interpretative tools that use the scientific bases to assess the results of management and science policy actions."Ecological forecasting Ecological forecastingUnited StatesEcosystem managementUnited StatesBiotic communitiesForecastingMarine ecologyUnited StatesEcological forecastingEcosystem managementBiotic communitiesForecasting.Marine ecologyValette-Silver Nathalie J1385135Scavia Donald1385136National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (U.S.)OLAOLAOCLCQGPOBOOK9910694830703321Ecological forecasting3432311UNINA
