        One Health Concepts and the Aquatic Ecosystem
        October 2025

        One Health Concepts and the Aquatic Ecosystem

        by Laura D Urdes, Chris Walster, Julius Tepper

        Oceans and other wetlands cover approximately 70% of the Earth's surface and represent some of the most vital and dynamic ecosystems on the planet. These aquatic environments provide essential functions that support both planetary and human well-being - from regulating climate through carbon sequestration and influencing weather patterns, to sustaining biodiversity and supplying food and livelihoods to billions of people. They act as buffers against extreme weather events, nurseries for marine life, and crucial components of global nutrient and water cycles. Despite their critical role, however, oceans and wetlands remain underrepresented in the One Health discourse, which traditionally focuses more on terrestrial ecosystems such as rainforests, agricultural zones, and urban environments. The resilience of these aquatic systems is therefore deeply interlinked with human and animal health and marine pollution. Overfishing, climate-induced ocean acidification, and the spread of aquatic-borne diseases are all pressing issues that have direct and indirect impacts on public health, food security, and socio-economic stability - particularly for coastal and island communities. Recognizing oceans and wetlands as central components of the One Health framework is therefore essential for developing holistic and effective strategies to address public health challenges, and integrating One Health into research, policy, and practice is scientifically necessary and crucial for achieving long-term sustainability and resilience in a rapidly changing world. This book addresses that disparity of integration and tackles the main concepts of One Health using aquatic environments. It thus covers: - Definitions of One Health concepts and the use of One Health in practice; - The value of water-based environments and their importance in the implementation of One Health programs; - Important cross-sectoral topics such as epidemiology, health economics and statistics, biosecurity, governmental policy, food security, and underreported zoonoses. This textbook explores the interconnectedness between aquatic ecosystems and human health through the lens of the One Health approach. It also aligns with a number of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals and has been written as an accessible resource for students, researchers, and practitioners working within the One Health framework.

        Impact of Carbon Dioxide and Other Greenhouse Gases on Forest Ecosystems

        by Edited by David Karnosky, Reinhart Ceulemans, Giuseppe Scarascia-Mugnozza, John L Innes

        Carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases such as ozone, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide and chlorofluorocarbons, are all increasing in the atmosphere. These gases are directly affecting biological processes in trees and ecological processes in forests.They are also causing considerable radiant energy to be trapped near the earth’s surface resulting in the so-called “greenhouse” effect which may significantly alter global climate in the 21st century. However, this issue is subject to some controversyThis book provides an authoritative review, written by expert world forest scientists, of what is known about the impact of elevated CO2 and other greenhouse gases on forest ecosystems.

        Grassland Productivity and Ecosystem Services

        by Tony Parsons, Dennis Poppi, Sophie Prache, Andrew W Illius, John McIvor, David Kemp, Sebastien Fontaine, Roland Bol, Stewart F Ledgard, Nina Buchman, Andreas Luescher, Richard McDowell, Luc Abbadie, Phil Grime, Bertrand Dumont, Eric Garnier, Mike Humphreys, Xavier Leroux, Thibaud Decaens, Jean-Louis Peyraud, Greg Lambert, Craig Morris, Herman van Keulen, Alan Franzluebers, Anibal de Moraes Robert Ferrier, Gerard Balent. Edited by Gilles Lemaire, John Hodgson, Abad Chabbi.

        Grassland ecosystems are deeply affected by human activities and need appropriate management to optimise trade-offs between ecosystem functions and services. Until now they have mainly been analysed as agro-ecosystems for animal production but this book looks beyond the role of grassland as a feeding ground, and evaluates other important processes such as carbon sequestration in soils, greenhouse gas regulation and biodiversity protection. This authoritative volume expertly highlights the need for an immediate balance between agriculture and ecological management for sustainability in the future.

        The Concept of Ecostacking

        Techniques and Applications

        by Jinjun Wang, Huai Liu, Ingeborg Menzler-Hokkanen, Hongbo Jiang, Heikki M.T. Hokkanen, Ingeborg Menzler-Hokkanen

        Ecostacking is a new concept and approach which aims to maximize the benefits of ecosystem service providers in cropping systems to help achieve the goal of long-term sustainable agriculture and food production. The term "ecostacking" means combining synergistically the beneficial services of functional biodiversity from all levels and types. It is a comprehensive approach, where the various ecosystem service providers are fully integrated with the rest of the cropping system including agronomic practices. It is an approach which goes beyond conventional Integrated Pest Management practises, and attempts to take advantage of all the functional biodiversity of a system. The main focus of ecostacking is on maximizing ecosystem services for biological control and pollination from beneficial arthropods, but the approach also utilizes other invertebrates (e.g., earthworms) as well as beneficial vertebrates such as bats, birds and small mammals. Microbes also provide invaluable ecosystem services including pest, disease, and weed control, either directly as components of "suppressive soils" or as plant colonizers (as endophytes or as epiphytic microbial flora). The ecostacking approach also aims to maximize other nature-provided services such as maintenance of soil health and nutrient cycling. The Concept of Ecostacking is the first book in a series which introduces ecostacking concepts to the reader and explores how this approach can be used in a variety of ways and in different cropping systems. The book defines this new concept and shows, using illustrative case studies from around the world, how ecostacking principles can be successfully employed in cropping systems in the open field, in greenhouses and in forestry. This book: · will serve as inspiration for developing further applications of this breakthrough technology for sustainable agricultural production. · is a must-read for everyone with an interest in developing sustainable crop protection systems and ecosystem management. · has been written and edited by the world's leading experts in this new and exciting endeavour.

        Microbial Diversity and Its Applications

        by S.B.Barbudde ,R.Ramesh & N.P.Singh

        Microbial organisms occupy a peculiar place in the human view of life. Microorganisms represent the richest repertoire of molecular and chemical diversity in nature as they underlie basic ecosystem processes. Microorganisms are used for various purposes including food production and preservation, management of pests and pathogens, bioleaching of metals, increasing soil fertility, generating biofuels, monitoring pollutants, cleaning up of oil spills, waste water treatment, assaying of chemicals and serving as tools for medical research. Besides microorganisms are the major sources of antimicrobial agents and produce a wide range of other important medicinal compounds including enzymes, enzyme inhibitors, antihelminthics, antitumor agents, insecticides, vitamins, immunosuppressants and immunomodulatoThe study of microbial diversity is thus important to solve new and emerging disease problems and to advance biotechnology.

        The Ecology and Management of Invasive Prosopis Trees in Eastern Africa

        The Ecology and Management of Invasive Prosopis Trees in Eastern Africa

        by Urs Schaffner, Ketema Bekele, Albrecht Ehrensperger, Brian W. van Wilgen

        This book synthesises information on an important environmental problem - the invasion of natural ecosystems in Africa by alien Prosopis trees, and how they should be managed. It addresses how the problem came about, what we know about how it works, and how it can potentially be managed at different scales. The book has a focus on eastern Africa but includes studies from elsewhere. Prosopis trees were originally introduced to Africa as early as 1880 (in South Africa), and later to eastern Africa in 1917 (in Sudan). They are difficult to manage due to their ecological features, such as their ability to produce copious amounts of seed, and to compete successfully with native species for resources, but also because they have both beneficial uses and negative impacts, making them conflict species, where people disagree on goals for management and how they should be achieved. In eastern Africa, Prosopis juliflora invades rangeland, cropland, settlements and riparian ecosystems, causing negative impacts on biodiversity and ecosystem services that rural communities depend on. This book considers the perceptions and conflicting interests of different stakeholder groups, and how engagement can be used to co-design management strategies and implement concrete control measures. The book is therefore not only of interest to those working with this invasive tree species, but also to persons involved in policy development and management of other invasive species, or in the wider field of sustainable environmental management.
