The last few years have witnessed an explosion of interest in the concept of social tipping
points (STPs), understood as nonlinear processes of transformative change in social …

There is growing concern over tipping points arising in ecosystems because of the crossing
of environmental thresholds. Tipping points lead to abrupt and possibly irreversible shifts …

Climate tipping points occur when change in a part of the climate system becomes self-
perpetuating beyond a warming threshold, leading to substantial Earth system impacts …

Forest ecosystems depend on their capacity to withstand and recover from natural and
anthropogenic perturbations (that is, their resilience) 1. Experimental evidence of sudden …

Many natural systems exhibit tipping points where slowly changing environmental
conditions spark a sudden shift to a new and sometimes very different state. As the tipping …

The possibility that the Amazon forest system could soon reach a tipping point, inducing
large-scale collapse, has raised global concern,–. For 65 million years, Amazonian forests …

All life requires the capacity to recover from challenges that are as inevitable as they are
unpredictable. Understanding this resilience is essential for managing the health of humans …

Since last century or so anthropogenic activities have intensely metamorphosed the earth's
ecosystem and resulted into major environmental changes. Widespread interference of …

Modeling is essential to characterize and explore complex societal and environmental
issues in systematic and collaborative ways. Socio-environmental systems (SES) modeling …

Mountain forests are at particular risk of climate change impacts due to their temperature
limitation and high exposure to warming. At the same time, their complex topography may …
