- Abstract:
Novel ecosystems are defined as ecosystems that have new assemblages or combinations of species resulting directly and indirectly from human action. They are called novel, or new, because species occur in combinations and in relative abundances unlike those that occurred previously within a given biome. Another term commonly used to describe novel ecosystems is emerging ecosystems.
