  abstract = {{W}hy are marine species where they are? {T}he scientific community is faced with an urgent need to understand aquatic ecosystem dynamics in the context of global change. {T}his requires development of scientific tools with the capability to predict how biodiversity, natural resources, and ecosystem services will change in response to stressors such as climate change and further expansion of fishing. {S}pecies distribution models and ecosystem models are two methodologies that are being developed to further this understanding. {T}o date, these methodologies offer limited capabilities to work jointly to produce integrated assessments that take both food web dynamics and spatial-temporal environmental variability into account. {W}e here present a new habitat capacity model as an implementation of the spatial-temporal model {E}cospace of the {E}copath with {E}cosim approach. {T}he new model offers the ability to drive foraging capacity of species from the cumulative impacts of multiple physical, oceanographic, and environmental factors such as depth, bottom type, temperature, salinity, oxygen concentrations, and so on. {W}e use a simulation modeling procedure to evaluate sampling characteristics of the new habitat capacity model. {T}his development bridges the gap between envelope environmental models and classic ecosystem food web models, progressing toward the ability to predict changes in marine ecosystems under scenarios of global change and explicitly taking food web direct and indirect interactions into account.},
