Anticipating Critical Transitions
Marten Scheffer,Marten Scheffer,Stephen R. Carpenter,Timothy M. Lenton,Jordi Bascompte,William A. Brock,Vasilis Dakos,Vasilis Dakos,Johan van de Koppel,Ingrid A. van de Leemput,Simon A. Levin,Egbert H. van Nes,Mercedes Pascual,Mercedes Pascual,John Vandermeer +14 more
TL;DR: How previously isolated lines of work can be connected are reviewed, it is concluded that many critical transitions (such as escape from the poverty trap) can have positive outcomes, and how the new approaches to sensing fragility can help to detect both risks and opportunities for desired change.
Journal ArticleDOI
Self-Organized Patchiness and Catastrophic Shifts in Ecosystems
TL;DR: A review of recent studies on various ecosystems that link self-organized patchiness to catastrophic shifts between ecosystem states and the implications for management and recovery strategies for such ecosystems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Regular pattern formation in real ecosystems
Max Rietkerk,Johan van de Koppel +1 more
TL;DR: This work provides a conceptual framework explaining how scale-dependent feedback determines regular pattern formation in ecosystems, and how this affects the response of ecosystems to global environmental change.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of fire and herbivory on the stability of savanna ecosystems
Frank van Langevelde,Claudius A. D. M. van de Vijver,Claudius A. D. M. van de Vijver,Lalit Kumar,Lalit Kumar,Johan van de Koppel,Nico de Ridder,Jelte van Andel,Andrew K. Skidmore,John W. Hearne,Leo Stroosnijder,William J. Bond,Herbert H. T. Prins,Max Rietkerk +13 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that the balance between trees and grasses is, to a large extent, determined by the indirect interactive effects of herbivory and fire, and that the interaction between fire and grass provides a mechanistic explanation for observed discontinuous changes in woody and grass biomass.
Journal ArticleDOI
Numerical models of salt marsh evolution: Ecological, geomorphic, and climatic factors
Sergio Fagherazzi,Matthew L. Kirwan,Matthew L. Kirwan,Simon M. Mudd,Glenn R. Guntenspergen,Stijn Temmerman,Andrea D'Alpaos,Johan van de Koppel,John M. Rybczyk,Enrique Reyes,Christopher B. Craft,Jonathan S. Clough +11 more
TL;DR: A broad overview of recent numerical models that quantify the formation and evolution of salt marshes under different physical and ecological drivers is presented in this article, focusing on the coupling between geomorphological and ecological processes and how these feedbacks are included in predictive models of landform evolution.
