1 Biophysical and Socioeconomic Assessments: The LOICZ* Approach Liana Talaue-McManus Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science University of Miami LOICZ Nutrient Budget & Typology Teams *Land-Ocean Interaction in the Coastal Zone

2 Objectives LOICZ framework in assessing the role of the global coast in material (carbon, nutrients, freshwater) delivery and cycling. A resource in identifying/ formulating indicators for themes on coastal water quality and eutrophication Scale: –Local: catchments and associated estuarine areas –Regional and global carbon assessments

3 Outline Goals of LOICZ as a Core Project of the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme (IGBP) Biophysical approaches Socio-economic approaches Future directions

4  mass balances of C, N and P  interphase with integrated coastal management  land use, climate, sea level on material fluxes and coastal morphodynamics  anthropogenic influence  trace gas emissions  source/ sink for Carbon dioxide

6 Nutrient Budget Modeling PrPredictive relationships Typology To discern Regional & Global patterns 22002 222 200 sites with nutrient budgets Using global Databases to Scale up Clustering & Visualization tools

7 DATA NEEDS: System area and volume River runoff, precipitation, & evaporation Salinity gradient Nutrient loads DIP concentrations DIN concentrations DOP, DON (if available) DIC (if available).

Redfield Equation

17 Nutrient Budget Assessments (black areas): How to scale up globally?

18 Predictive relationships Log (mol DIP km -2 yr -1 ) = 2.72 + 0.36 X log (persons km -2 ) + 0.78 X log (runoff in m 3 yr -1 ) DIP load, number of persons, and runoff scaled to catchment basin area N=168; r 2 = 0.58 (Smith et al, in prep.)

19 LOICZ Typology Database 0.5 degree grid 47,057 cells (out of 259,200 total for earth’s surface) make up primary typology cells –Coastal (with shoreline; NOAA 1999) –Stream network (U. New Hampshire 1999) –Grid cell composition: Coastal (15,278 cells) + terrestrial (immed. Landward) (12,449 cells) + oceanic (immed. Seaward) (19,330 cells)

20 Yield Load

21 Potential Directions Systematic assessments of socioeconomic drivers along rural-urban gradients –System state feedbacks on resource-based economic activities (capture fisheries, aquaculture, tourism) –Watershed management Fertilizer policy and use Sewage and wastewater treatment Land use and cover change
