Description

This report addresses and synthesizes the current state of scientific understanding regarding potential abrupt state changes or regime shifts in ecosystems in response to climate change. It provides an overview of what is known about ecological thresholds and where they are likely to occur. The report also identifies those areas where research is most needed to improve knowledge and understand the uncertainties regarding them. It suggests a suite of potential actions that land and resource managers could use to improve the likelihood of success for the resources they manage, even under conditions of incomplete understanding of what drives thresholds of change and when changes will occur. Charts and tables.
