Pathways Of Resilience And Evasion Of Tipping In Ecosystems
Shaping Of Tipping-Prone Ecosystemstipping Points Represent A Crucial Concern In The Battle Against Climate Change. These Points Emerge When Damage To Ecosystems Surpasses A Critical Threshold, Leading To Profound And Irreversible Alterations. Human Activities Are Often Responsible For Such Damage, Resulting In Various Impacts On The Planet, Including Climate Change. However, Recent Research Has Validated That Stressed Ecosystems Tend To Develop Spatial Patterns, Such As Vegetation, Which Significantly Bolster Their Capacity To Withstand Tipping Points And Recover From Damage. The Erc-Funded Resilience Project Investigates How Ecosystems’ Tipping Points Can Be Prevented Through Structural Processes And Spatial Patterns. The Project Will Integrate Fields Like Ecology, Mathematics And Data Science To Foster A Dynamic Response To The Threats Posed By Climate Change.
