Chapter Two - Mesocosm Experiments as a Tool for Ecological Climate-Change Research

To predict the ecological causes and effects of global climate change requires multiple approaches, including the use of experiments, models and investigations. Experiments have shown that mesocosmos is a smaller, more controlled microscopic world experiment (which may be affected by limited realism) and greater biological complexity of the natural system (mechanical relationship not recognized It is popular for many). It will be an important bridge. The contribution to the mesocosm approach, the possibility of future research, and the new evaluation of the limit are timely. As part of this review, we have created a new database containing more than 250 studies since 1990 and examined the different elements of climate change in different organizational aspects, sizes and habitats. Evaluation of reality, reproducibility and management issues in ocean, freshwater and land systems. Several common patterns emerge, especially on the ecosystem level, including consistent and predictable effects on the system's breathing rate. However, especially at the community level, there are lots of special, occasional reactions at first glance within and between habitat types. These same points and differences in the driver and reaction highlight the cautious need before generalization. Finally, we will evaluate the future direction and prospects for the progress of the new methodology, and the need to strengthen international coordination and interdisciplinary.

Mesocosms is the perfect tool to study the impact of ecosystems on conditions related to the field. Medium scale global research design is based on fully answered questions. Apply medium-sized organisms to freshwater and marine environments to examine substances (such as pesticides, polluted sediments, complex sewage) and other disturbances (such as turbidity, eutrophication, temperature / cooling water) to the ecosystem can do. In addition, mesocosm provides an excellent tool for studying the fate of chemical substances.
