Early warning signals, nonlinearity, and signs of hysteresis in real ecosystems

Abstract Early warning signals (EWS) might dramatically improve our ability to manage nonlinear ecological change. However, the degree to which theoretical EWS predictions are supported in empirical systems remains unclear. The goal of this study is to make recommendations for identifying the types...
