Detecting regime shifts in artificial ecosystems
Ecosystems are subjected to a range of perturbations that have the potential to induce relatively sharp transitions in states. These can be referred to as regime shifts or critical transitions. They may be driven by perturbations that vary over a wide range of spatial and temporal scales, from responses to deforestation within a small field to responses to the gradual increase of carbon dioxide...
متن کاملThe Regime Shifts Database: a Framework for Analyzing Regime Shifts in Social-ecological Systems
This paper presents the Regime Shifts Database (RSDB), a new online, open-access database that uses a novel consistent framework to systematically analyze regime shifts based on their impacts, key drivers, underlying feedbacks, and management options. The database currently contains 27 generic types of regime shifts, and over 300 specific case studies of a variety of regime shifts. These regime...
متن کاملConditional heteroscedasticity as a leading indicator of ecological regime shifts.
Regime shifts are massive, often irreversible, rearrangements of nonlinear ecological processes that occur when systems pass critical transition points. Ecological regime shifts sometimes have severe consequences for human well-being, including eutrophication in lakes, desertification, and species extinctions. Theoretical and laboratory evidence suggests that statistical anomalies may be detect...
متن کاملMultiple Stable States and Regime Shifts in Ecological Systems
Ecological systems at many scales can exhibit multiple stable states and the possibility of regime shifts. These shifts are relatively well understood for a variety of specific systems which are amenable to description by simple mathematical models. Using the insights from these simple models as a bridge to understanding regime shifts in more complex systems raises substantial mathematical and ...
متن کاملEcological thresholds and regime shifts: approaches to identification.
There is an apparent gap between the prominence of present theoretical frameworks involving ecological thresholds and regime shifts, and the paucity of efforts to conduct simple tests and quantitative inferences on the actual appearance of such phenomena in ecological data. A wide range of statistical methods and analytical techniques are now available that render these questions tractable, som...
