Experimental floods cause ecosystem regime shift in a regulated river.
Reservoirs have altered the flow regime of most rivers on the globe. To simulate the natural flow regime, experimental floods are being implemented on regulated rivers throughout the world to improve their ecological integrity. As a large-scale disturbance, the long-term sequential use of floods provides an excellent empirical approach to examine ecosystem regime shifts in rivers. This study ev...
متن کاملVariance as a Leading Indicator of Regime Shift in Ecosystem Services
Many environmental conflicts involve pollutants such as greenhouse gas emissions that are dispersed through space and cause losses of ecosystem services. As pollutant emissions rise in one place, a spatial cascade of declining ecosystem services can spread across a larger landscape because of the dispersion of the pollutant. This paper considers the problem of anticipating such spatial regime s...
متن کاملEcosystems: The Rocky Road to Regime-Shift Indicators
Ecosystems can undergo dramatic shifts from one stable state to another. While indicators of such shifts are well known, experimental tests are few and far between. A new study on rocky shore ecosystems now offers a test of warning indicators.
متن کاملEarly warnings of regime shifts: evaluation of spatial indicators from a whole-ecosystem experiment
Critical transitions between alternate ecosystem states are often preceded by increased variance and autocorrelation in time series of ecosystem properties. Analogous changes may occur in spatial statistics as ecosystems approach thresholds for critical transitions. Changes in spatial statistics near thresholds have been described using models, laboratory experiments, and remotely sensed data, ...
