    A Distinct Urban Biogeochemistry?

    A paper on applying biophysical process and functioning to urban ecology.

    Kaye, J.P., Groffman, P.M., Grimm, N.B., Baker, L.A. & Pouyat, R.V. 2006. A Distinct Urban Biogeochemistry? Trends in Ecology and Evolution. 21 (4): 192-199.

    ABSTRACT

    Most of the human population lives in urban areas where biogeochemical cycles are controlled by complex interactions between society and the environment. Urban ecology is an emerging discipline that seeks to understand these interactions, and one of the grand challenges for urban ecologists is to develop models that encompass the myriad of influences of people on biogeochemistry. We suggest here that existing models, developed primarily in unmanaged and agricultural ecosystems, work poorly in urban ecosystems because they do not include human biogeochemical controls such as impervious surface proliferation, engineered aqueous flow paths, landscape choices, and human demographic trends. Incorporating these human controls into biogeochemical models will advance urban ecology and will require collaborations with engineers and social scientists.
