THEME SECTION

Advancing dynamic modelling of marine populations and ecosystems
Organizers: Solfrid Sætre Hjøllo, Marie Maar, Sonja M. van Leeuwen
Editors: Aaron Adamack, Lisandro Benedetti-Cecchi, Alejandro Gallego, Myron A. Peck, Corinna Schrum, Ingrid van Putten, Brian Wells

This Theme Section, organised by the ICES Working Group on Integrative, Physical-biological and Ecosystem Modelling (WGIPEM), highlights state-of-the-art, process-based models and how they are being applied to address a broad range of marine research and management topics. Contributions cover a variety of themes including population- to ecosystem-level responses to different individual or interacting pressures, improved depictions of the trophodynamic structure and function of ecosystems, uncertainty quantification and skill evaluation of complex models, as well as ecosystem monitoring and management strategy evaluation. Together, these studies demonstrate the management potential of dynamic marine ecosystem models.
