WAMSI 2 - Kimberley Node - Project 2.2.8 - Knowledge Integration and Management Strategy Evaluation (MSE) Modelling

This record describes the WAMSI KMRP Project 2.2.8: Knowledge Integration and Management Strategy Evaluation (MSE) Modelling of the Kimberley Region. The project explores the possible and desired futures of the Kimberley region using two computer models, Ecopath with Ecosim (EwE) and ALCES. In this project the future is defined to 2050.
EwE was used to characterise the trophic structure, ecosystem attributes and impact of fishing and climate change in the region. ALCES modelled terrestrial land-use and landscape dynamics and interfaced with the marine ecosystem dynamics (EwE) model to generate output on how these ecosystems interact and change over time. The purpose of using these models was to integrate existing and new knowledge about the Kimberley system and to provide an estimation of the likely impacts of different stressors on the land (ALCES) and marine (EwE) environments.

This metadata record relates to the input and outputs for EwE and lists only the inputs form ALCES. Refer to the additional metadata description for details on the ALCES component.

本元数据记录描述了WAMSI KMRP项目2.2.8：金伯利地区知识整合与管理策略评估（Management Strategy Evaluation，MSE）建模工作。本项目依托两款计算机模型——Ecopath with Ecosim（EwE）与ALCES——探究金伯利地区的潜在发展前景与理想未来图景，项目的时间跨度设定至2050年。

EwE被用于刻画该区域的营养结构、生态系统特征，以及渔业活动与气候变化所产生的影响。ALCES则针对陆地土地利用与景观动态开展建模，并与海洋生态系统动力学模型（EwE）实现交互，进而生成两类生态系统随时间推移的相互作用与变化情况的输出结果。本项目采用上述两款模型的核心目标，在于整合金伯利生态系统的既有知识与新增研究成果，并评估不同胁迫因子对陆地（由ALCES模拟）与海洋（由EwE模拟）环境的潜在影响。

本元数据记录仅涵盖EwE的输入与输出数据，且仅列出了ALCES的输入数据。有关ALCES模块的详细信息，请参阅附加元数据说明文档。
