Multiple natural and human stressors on marine ecosystems are common throughout the North Pacific, and may
act synergistically to change ecosystem structure, function and dynamics in unexpected ways that can differ from
responses to single stressors. These stressors can be expected to vary by region, and over time. Understanding the
impacts of multiple stressors, and developing indicators which capture their behaviours and changes, are major
challenges for an ecosystem approach to the North Pacific and for the PICES FUTURE project. The objective
of this session is to present potential indicators of ecosystem responses to multiple stressors in the North Pacific
(with the focus on multiple, rather than single, stressors). One goal of the session is to determine if these proposed
ecosystem indicators can provide a mechanistic understanding of how ecosystems respond to multiple stressors.
For example, 1) are responses to stressors simply linear or are changes non-linear such that small additional
stressors result in much larger ecosystem responses; 2) do different parts of the ecosystem respond differently
(e.g., across trophic levels); 3) how do stressors interact and can these interactions be adequately captured by the
proposed indicators? Conceptual, empirical and model-based analyses are welcome. The results of this session
will contribute to the work of PICES Working Group 28 on Ecosystem indicators for multiple stressors on the
North Pacific.
