When an ecological regime shift is really just stochastic noise.
Populations of marine species wax and wane over time and space, reflecting environmental forcing, biological dynamics, and in some cases human perturbations, such as fishing, habitat destruction, and climate change (1). The growing availability of multidecadal observational records opens new windows on how ocean ecosystems function, but the analysis and interpretation of such long time-series a...
متن کاملAvoiding an ecological regime shift is sound economic policy
We extend the shallow lake model by adding the capital stock of an industry. A government can mitigate the effects of pollution arising from industrial activities by imposing the requirement to abate emissions. Within this framework two scenarios are examined: in the social optimal benchmark, the social planner optimally allocates investment. In the competitive equilibrium, market forces determ...
متن کاملSocial Learning in Regime Change Games
This paper studies social learning effects in dynamic regime change games with a finite number of short-lived players in each period. These kinds of games are usually applied to currency attacks by hedge funds, investments in emerging firms by venture capitalists, and revolutions against dictators by armies. In my model, the state of the status quo is fixed but unobservable to players. Since ea...
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 کاملHow the Social-Ecological Systems Concept Can Guide Transdisciplinary Research and Implementation: Addressing Water Challenges in Central Northern Namibia
Research aimed at contributing to the further development of integrated water resources management needs to tackle complex challenges at the interface of nature and society. A case study in the Cuvelai-Etosha Basin in Namibia has shown how semi-arid conditions coinciding with high population density and urbanisation present a risk to people’s livelihoods and ecosystem health. In order to increa...
