Increasingly environmental management seeks to limit the impacts of human activities on ecosystems relative to some ‘reference’ condition, which is often the presumed pre-impacted state, however such information is limited. We explore how marine ecos... Read More about An ecological status indicator for all time: Are AMBI and M-AMBI effective indicators of change in deep time?.
