Introduction

Marine food webs in upwelling systems play a critical role in supporting the productivity and biodiversity of marine ecosystems. Upwelling systems are regions where nutrient-rich waters from the deep ocean are brought to the surface, fueling the growth of phytoplankton and supporting a complex network of interactions among various species. Understanding the stability of these food webs is essential for predicting how they may respond to environmental changes and human activities.

This thesis aims to investigate the factors that contribute to the stability of marine food webs in upwelling systems. By examining the interactions among different trophic levels and the effects of environmental variability, this study seeks to provide insights into the dynamics of these complex systems and the implications for ecosystem health and resilience.

Thesis Overview: Marine food web stability in upwelling systems

Marine food webs in upwelling systems are complex networks of interactions among various species, from phytoplankton to top predators, that are influenced by environmental factors such as nutrient availability, ocean circulation patterns, and climate variability. Understanding the stability of these food webs is essential for predicting how they may respond to perturbations and for informing management strategies for sustainable marine ecosystems.

This thesis aims to investigate the factors that contribute to the stability of marine food webs in upwelling systems, with a focus on the California Current System as a case study. By integrating field observations, experimental manipulations, and modeling approaches, this study seeks to advance our understanding of the dynamics of these complex systems and the implications for ecosystem health and resilience.

Through a comprehensive literature review, research methodology, discussion of findings, and conclusion, this thesis will provide important insights into the mechanisms that underlie the stability of marine food webs in upwelling systems and contribute to the broader field of marine ecology and conservation.
