Title:
Global Change, Vulnerability, and Resilience: Management Options for an Uncertain Future
Report Date:
2019-09-24
Abstract:
The Earth has entered a new epoch, the Anthropocene, wherein the footprints of human activity (e.g., eutrophication, acidification, climate change) may manifest in erosion of ecological resilience and consequential losses of ecosystem services. Ecological resilience is the ability of an ecological system to absorb disturbance without experiencing a catastrophic shift into an alternative regime. To allow the DoD to predict and adapt to ecological changes that may result in regime shifts and effect individual bases and the DoD as a wholes ability to carry out their missions, our objectives in this research were to develop models to detect ecological regime shifts in space and time and to develop metrics to quantify ecological resilience and adaptive capacity
