future sea level rise drives rocky intertidal habitat loss and benthic Community Change
PeerJ, 2020Co-Authors: Nikolas John Kaplanis, Clinton B Edwards, Yoan Eynaud, Jennifer E SmithAbstract:The impacts of sea-level rise (SLR) are likely to be the greatest for ecosystems that exist at the land-sea interface, where small Changes in sea-level could result in drastic Changes in habitat availability. Rocky intertidal ecosystems possess a number of characteristics which make them highly vulnerable to Changes in sea-level, yet our understanding of potential Community-scale responses to future SLR scenarios is limited. Combining remote-sensing with in-situ large-area imaging, we quantified habitat extent and characterized the biological Community at two rocky intertidal study locations in California, USA. We then used a model-based approach to estimate how a range of SLR scenarios would affect total habitat area, areal extent of dominant benthic space occupiers, and numerical abundance of invertebrates. Our results suggest that SLR will reduce total available rocky intertidal habitat area at our study locations, leading to an overall decrease in areal extent of dominant benthic space occupiers, and a reduction in invertebrate abundances. As large-scale environmental Changes, such as SLR, accelerate in the next century, more extensive spatially explicit monitoring at ecologically relevant scales will be needed to visualize and quantify their impacts to biological systems.

future sea level rise drives rocky intertidal habitat loss and benthic Community Change
bioRxiv, 2019Co-Authors: Nikolas John Kaplanis, Clinton B Edwards, Yoan Eynaud, Jennifer E SmithAbstract:Rocky intertidal ecosystems may be particularly susceptible to sea-level rise impacts but few studies have explored Community scale response to future sea-level scenarios. Combining remote-sensing with large-area imaging, we quantify habitat extent and describe biological Community structure at two rocky intertidal study locations in California. We then estimate Changes in habitat area and Community composition under a range of sea-level rise scenarios using a model-based approach. Our results suggest that future sea-level rise will significantly reduce rocky intertidal area at our study locations, leading to an overall decrease in benthic habitat and a reduction in overall invertebrate abundances, but increased densities of certain taxa. These results suggest that sea-level rise may fundamentally alter the structure and function of rocky intertidal systems. As large scale environmental Changes such as sea-level rise accelerate in the next century, more extensive spatially-explicit monitoring at ecologically relevant scales will be needed to visualize and quantify the impacts to biological systems.

youth empowerment solutions for peaceful communities combining theory and practice in a Community level violence prevention curriculum
Health Promotion Practice, 2011Co-Authors: Marc A Zimmerman, Sarah E Stewart, Susan Morrelsamuels, Susan P Franzen, Thomas M ReischlAbstract:This article describes the development and evaluation of an after-school curriculum designed to prepare adolescents to prevent violence through Community Change. This curriculum, part of the Youth Empowerment Solutions for Peaceful Communities (YES) program, is guided by empowerment and ecological theories within a positive youth development context. YES is designed to enhance the capacity of adolescents and adults to work together to plan and implement Community Change projects. The youth curriculum is organized around six themed units: (a) Youth as Leaders, (b) Learning about Our Community, (c) Improving Our Community, (d) Building Intergenerational Partnerships, (e) Planning for Change, and (f) Action and Reflection. The curriculum was developed through an iterative process. Initially, program staff members documented their activities with youth. These outlines were formalized as curriculum sessions. Each session was reviewed by the program and research staff and revised based on underlying theory and practical application. The curriculum process evaluation includes staff and youth feedback. This theoretically based, field-tested curriculum is designed to be easily adapted and implemented in a diverse range of communities. Language: en
