An analytical framework to unify ecological and engineering resilience near critical transitions (opens in new tab)

The capacity of dynamical systems to resist and recover from perturbations, broadly referred to as resilience, is commonly expressed by two complementary quantities: ecological and engineering resilience. As many complex systems exhibit critical transitions, or tipping points, understanding how these resiliences jointly change nearby them is central to characterising and anticipating such shifts. Here, we develop a theoretical framework that cla...
