Popis: International audience; Ports are urban and often quite-confined habitats within the aquatic (marine or freshwater) ecosystems, hostingbiodiversity as any natural ecosystem under anthropogenic pressures as in many urban ecosystems. This scopingreview seeks to give an overview of the state of knowledge on port biodiversity and port concerns aboutbiodiversity based on scientific literature. Our aim was to highlight gaps and strengths in biodiversity knowledgeand research in the port ecosystem, the outcomes of which are supposed to inform port authorities, guide portmanagement and assist in planning research and management actions towards the implementation of relevantmeasures for port environmental sustainability. Results using Web of Science showed a recent trend in portbiodiversity research (no references before 1999, most published after 2016) with a shift of research objectivefrom empirical knowledge early-on towards non-indigenous species (NIS) concern recently. European, commercial ports and the NIS concern dominated the landscape. Fish, invertebrates such as crustaceans, major international and inland (freshwater) ports were under-represented. This review highlighted the need for a shift inport environmental awareness for biodiversity to expect resilience of the whole social-ecological system and forbaseline knowledge and exhaustive inventories to assess how anthropogenic activities impact biodiversity andchange ecosystem properties and functions.
