Scaling up: the role of species and habitat patches in functioning of coastal ecosystems S. J. HAWKINSa,b,* Marine Biological Association of the UK, Plymouth, UK School of Biological Sciences, University of Southampton, Southampton, UK ââ âBiological diversityâ means the variability among living organisms from all sources including, inter alia, terrestrial, marine and other aquatic ecosystems and the ecological complexes of which they are part; this includes diversity within species, between species and of ecosystems.ââ UN Convention on Biodiversity, Article 2 (UNEP, 1992) Given high rates of extinction and potential loss of ecosystem âgoods and servicesâ, there is a clear need to understand the consequences of loss of biodiversity for the functioning of ecosystems. Complex scientiï¬c problems are often addressed through simpliï¬cations; this has certainly been the case in the debate about biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. (Often, some attribute of ecosystem functioning is plotted against biodiversity (usually number of species; e.g. Emmerson et al., 2001; Tilman et al., 2001; Wardle, 2001). As theory has moved into empirical studies, a simpliï¬ed bivariate approach has often been followed.) Unfortunately, in many instances a surrogate of an ecosystem process has been used; most often this has been biomass as an index of
