    Sammanfattning : Ecosystems can undergo changes that are slow and gradual, or an abrupt change - a sudden nonlinear dynamics that can bring catastrophic changes and ultimately leads to the change in the structure and functioning. Non-linear and discontinuous changes sometimes may cause the system to shift into another undesirable state, called ‘regime shifts’ or ‘critical transition’. LÄS MER
