Working package
Humboldt Ecology
Taxonomic and functional structure of the ecosystems of the Humboldt Current System (HCS). Physical and biotic data to calibrate and validate models.
The objective of the working package is to generate ecological and physical data on the marine and terrestrial systems from the northern coast of Chile, in order to calibrate upwelling models and climate dynamics. It will also provide information to evaluate the role of natural and anthropogenic factors in driving the long-term evolution of HCS socio-ecological systems.
