Potential climate tip** points pose a growing risk for societies, and policy is calling for
improved anticipation of them. Satellite remote sensing can play a unique role in identifying …

As the Earth system is exposed to large anthropogenic interferences, it becomes ever more
important to assess the resilience of natural systems, ie, their ability to recover from natural …

Global warming, habitat loss and overexploitation of limited resources are leading to
alarming biodiversity declines. Ecosystems are complex adaptive systems that display …

In this topical review, we present a brief overview of the different methods and measures to
detect the occurrence of critical transitions in complex systems. We start by introducing the …

The Amazon rainforest is considered one of the Earth's tip** elements and may lose
stability under ongoing climate change. Recently a decrease in tropical rainforest resilience …

The local stability and resilience of 13 eco-social keystone species complexes (eco-social
KSCs)—considered as conservation and monitoring units—were quantified in coastal …

Preserving and restoring biodiversity is becoming a great challenge as we face a world
where planetary boundaries will likely be crossed over the following decades. Such …

It is necessary to find effective methods for quantifying ecosystem stability that can forewarn
massive collapses of ecosystem structure and inform ecosystem management. Multiple …

Resource-limited environments, such as drylands, can exhibit self-organized spatial
patterns. Theory suggests that these patterns could be indicators of approaching tip** …
