MACROSYSTEM ECOLOGY: SESSION SUMMARY AND PERSPECTIVES FOR FUTURE RESEARCH AND MANAGEMENT

Macrosystem analysis of aquatic ecosystems represents a new frontier in aquatic ecology with largely undeveloped guidelines for scientists. As we extend our research to larger physical areas and broader ecological and management questions, we need to evaluate: (a) the appropriate physical extent and boundaries for study; (b) methods for macrosystem delineation; (c) level of ecological processes in comparison to previous studies; (d) recommended modeling approaches (e.g., structural equation modeling); (e) the role of climate effects and inter-macrosysten interactions; and (f) the needed breadth of interdisciplinary teams. Finally, we should investigate the potential contributions of macrosystem ecology for system management of rivers, lakes, and wetlands. This concluding special session talk will address many of these issues, add perspectives from an ongoing, intercontinental river macrosystem study funded by NSF, and attem1pt to summarize key points in selected talks which will have been presented in this SFS macrosystem session.
