Forging just ecologies
We ask how environmental justice and urban ecology have influenced one another over the past 25 years in the context of the US Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) program and Baltimore Ecosystem Study (BES) project. BES began after environmental justice emerged through activism and scholarship in the 1980s but spans a period of increasing awareness among ecologists and environmental practitioners. The work in Baltimore provides a detailed exampl…
Shifting forward
The world has become urban; cities increasingly shape our worldviews, relation to other species, and the large-scale, long-term decisions we make. Cities are nature, but they need to align better with other ecosystems to avoid accelerating climate change and loss of biodiversity. We need a science to guide urban development across the diverse realities of global cities. This need can be met, in part, by shifts in urban ecology and its linkages to…
A transformative shift in urban ecology toward a more active and relevant future for the field and for cities
This paper builds on the expansion of urban ecology from a biologically based discipline—ecology in the city—to an increasingly interdisciplinary field—ecology of the city—to a transdisciplinary, knowledge to action endeavor—an ecology for and with the city. We build on this “prepositional journey” by proposing a transformative shift in urban ecology, and we present a framework for how the field may continue this shift. We conceptualize that urba…

Emerging synthesis themes from the study of social-ecological systems of a tropical city

Tropical cities are diverse and deserve more social-ecological attention
When I visit cities in the tropics, I am always fascinated by their diversity, not only their cultural diversity but also the diversity of vegetation and cityscapes. While New York City has a constructed Central Park, Belem in Brazil has the Jardim Botânico da Amazonia Bosque Rodrigues Alves, a 16-ha patch of natural lowland rain forest. My hometown of San Juan has scattered natural patches of novel moist forests with unique combinations of nativ…

Climate Change and Forest Disturbances
Studies of the effects of climate change on forests have focused on the ability of species to tolerate temperature and moisture changes and to disperse, but they have ignored the effects of disturbances caused by climate change (e.g., Ojima et al. 1991). Yet modeling studies indicate the importance of climate effects on disturbance regimes (He et al. 1999). Local, regional, and global changes in temperature and precipitation can influence the occ…
Hurricanes, Coral Reefs and Rainforests
The coexistence of hurricanes, coral reefs, and rainforests in the Caribbean demonstrates that highly structured ecosystems with great diversity can flourish in spite of recurring exposure to intense destructive energy. Coral reefs develop in response to wave energy and resist hurricanes largely by virtue of their structural strength. Limited fetch also protects some reefs from fully developed hurricane waves. While storms may produce dramatic lo…
