Trait-based indices to assess benthic vulnerability to trawling and model loss of ecosystem functions
The physical impact of bottom towed fishing gears does not only reduce the abundance and biomass of species, but also alter the overall species composition and, through this, the functioning of benthic communities. The vulnerability of a species is determined by its individual combination of morphol...
