PREDICTION SYSTEM OF CHANGES IN MARINE BENTHIC COMMUNITIES

摘要

The present invention relates to a system for predicting changes in marine benthic ecosystems, which outputs a biodiversity prediction value by inputting main environmental factors in an ecosystem model for predicting biodiversity of a macrobenthic assemblage as one of main biological members of a marine ecosystem. The system for predicting changes in marine benthic ecosystems comprises: a plurality of collecting devices which collects information on marine benthic animals from mudflats located in a plurality of places; a database storing the information on the marine benthic animals respectively collected by the collecting devices; a server predicting changes in marine benthic ecosystems according to variation of the marine benthic animals stored in the database; and a terminal device displaying the marine benthic ecosystems predicted by the server. The system can be utilized in local pollution source management, prediction of ecosystem responses to climate changes, habitat restoration, marine resources management, and protected area space establishment.
