Alternative stable states and ecological restoration: Facts, theory, and perspectives

2024-08-26

Abstract excerpt

Alternative stable states refer to two or more stable states in an ecosystem under the same external conditions. Ecosystems with alternative stable states respond to external conditions changes nonlinearly and hysteretic, with forward and backward regime shifts occurring at different environmental levels (thresholds). The region between the two thresholds is unstable, and the eventual ecosystems state depends on t...
