Exceeding 1.5°C global warming could trigger multiple climate tipping points
David I. Armstrong McKay,Arie Staal,Jesse Abrams,Ricarda Winkelmann,Boris Sakschewski,Sina Loriani,Ingo Fetzer,Sarah Cornell,Johan Rockström,Timothy M. Lenton +9 more
TL;DR: This paper provided a revised shortlist of global core and regional impact tipping points and their temperature thresholds, including the tipping point thresholds, time scales, and impacts of climate change, and provided an updated assessment of the most important climate tipping elements and their potential tipping points.
Journal ArticleDOI
Museums and Digital Culture: From Reality to Digitality in the Age of COVID-19
TL;DR: In this article , the authors investigate the challenges magnified by advances in digital and computational media and culture, looking particularly at recent and relevant reports on changes in the ways museums interact with the public, focusing on human digital behavior, experience, and interaction in museums in the context of art, artists, and human engagement with art.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impacts of climate change on vegetation pattern: mathematical modelling and data analysis
TL;DR: In this article , the influence of climate change on vegetation growth in both time and space by dynamical modeling the interactions of meteorological elements and vegetation growth is analyzed. And the long-term evolution trend of vegetation growth under climate change in some typical regions based on data analysis is characterized.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recurrent droughts increase risk of cascading tipping events by outpacing adaptive capacities in the Amazon rainforest
Nico Wunderling,Arie Staal,Boris Sakschewski,Marina Hirota,Obbe A. Tuinenburg,Jonathan F. Donges,Henrique M. J. Barbosa,Ricarda Winkelmann +7 more
TL;DR: In this article , the authors find that nonlinear thresholds in the hydrological balance of the rainforest might be exceeded under drier future conditions, leading to self-amplified forest transitions.

Ecological complexity and the biosphere: the next 30 years
Ricard V. Solé,Simon A. Levin +1 more
TL;DR: In this article , the authors explore recent approaches to sense, preserve and restore ecosystem resilience as well as a number of proposed interventions (from afforestation to bioengineering) directed to mitigate or reverse ecosystem collapse.

TL;DR: Identifying and quantifying planetary boundaries that must not be transgressed could help prevent human activities from causing unacceptable environmental change, argue Johan Rockstrom and colleagues.
Journal ArticleDOI
Catastrophic shifts in ecosystems.
TL;DR: Recent studies show that a loss of resilience usually paves the way for a switch to an alternative state, which suggests that strategies for sustainable management of such ecosystems should focus on maintaining resilience.

Early-warning signals for critical transitions
Marten Scheffer,Jordi Bascompte,William A. Brock,Victor Brovkin,Stephen R. Carpenter,Vasilis Dakos,Hermann Held,Egbert H. van Nes,Max Rietkerk,George Sugihara +9 more
TL;DR: Work in different scientific fields is now suggesting the existence of generic early-warning signals that may indicate for a wide class of systems if a critical threshold is approaching.

Tipping elements in the Earth's climate system
Timothy M. Lenton,Hermann Held,Elmar Kriegler,Elmar Kriegler,Jim W. Hall,Wolfgang Lucht,Stefan Rahmstorf,Hans Joachim Schellnhuber,Hans Joachim Schellnhuber +8 more
TL;DR: It is explained how, in principle, early warning systems could be established to detect the proximity of some tipping points, and critically evaluate potential policy-relevant tipping elements in the climate system under anthropogenic forcing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Alternative equilibria in shallow lakes
TL;DR: The reasons why alternative equilibria are theoretically expected in shallow lakes are discussed, evidence from the field is reviewed, and recent applications of this insight in lake management are evaluated.
