The ocean is a key component of the Earth system (Chapter 1) as it provides essential life
supporting services (Inniss et al. 2017). For example, it stores heat trapped in the …

Precursor signals for bifurcation-induced critical transitions have recently gained interest
across many research fields. Common indicators, including variance and autocorrelation …

Seagrass meadows are productive ecosystems that contribute to climate change mitigation
by accumulating 'Blue Carbon'in their plant biomass and sediments. However, there is wide …

Deep-time paleoclimatic records document large-scale shifts and perturbations in Earth's
climate; during the Cenozoic in particular transitions have been recorded on time scales of …

Climate change stressors are already affecting the subtropical and tropical coastal,

The current literature on resilience shows a trend toward a dynamic process
conceptualization, moving away from the previous trait-approach. However, the term …

Net global losses of seagrasses have accelerated efforts to understand recovery from
disturbances. Stressors causing disturbances (eg, storms, heatwaves, boating) vary …

Flood early warning systems (FLEWSs) contribute remarkably to reducing economic and life
losses during a flood. The theory of critical slowing down (CSD) has been successfully used …
