Shelf seas are among the most productive ecosystems on Earth, playing important roles in nutrient cycling, climate regulation, and food production. Benthic macroinvertebrates are key components of these ecosystems, forming an important and highly diverse component of marine food webs, with organisms from multiple phyla interacting in complex communities. Benthic invertebrates are also sensitive to a range of environmental and anthropogenic stressors, and are useful indicators of environmental change. The aim of this project is to mobilise new data products and computational capabilities to better quantify how benthic communities vary in time and space, across multiple dimensions of diversity (taxonomic, functional, and phylogenetic), in response to environmental and anthropogenic drivers.

陆架海是地球上最具生产力的生态系统之一，在养分循环、气候调节和粮食生产方面发挥着重要作用。底栖大型无脊椎动物是这些生态系统的关键组成部分，形成了海洋食物网的重要和高度多样化的组成部分，来自多门的生物在复杂的群落中相互作用。底栖无脊椎动物对一系列环境和人为压力源也很敏感，是环境变化的有用指标。该项目的目的是利用新的数据产品和计算能力，更好地量化底栖生物群落在时间和空间上的变化，在多样性（分类、功能和系统发育）的多个维度上，如何响应环境和人为驱动因素。
