ECOTIP – Ecological tipping cascades in the Arctic Seas is a flagship Horizon 2020 research project focusing on understanding and predicting changes in Arctic marine biodiversity and implications for two vitally important marine ecosystem services: fisheries production, which is the economic lifeblood of many Arctic communities, and carbon sequestration, which has important feedbacks to the global climate. Led by the Technical University of Denmark, ECOTIP brings together leading scientists from 15 institut
ECOTIP will investigate the current biodiversity of Arctic marine ecosystems and its past and present interaction with external drivers (multiple stressors such as climate change and pollution), using traits of marine communities as a measure of functional diversity
ECOTIP will investigate the link between the trait diversity and resistance, resilience and persistence of marine communities, ecosystem functions and ecosystem services with regard to multiple anthropogenic stressors, and to determine the potential for ecosystem tipping cascades
