Lake EutrophicationThe flip from clear to turbid water
Some lakes remain clear for decades until onesummer storm churns up the sediments, and itremains turbid for decades, despite all “cures.”

Resilience Theory Invert the normal pessimism
– “If the world really is collapsing, why do so many ecosystems persist?”
Develop common tools to study the decline, collapse or persistence of ecological, economic and social systems.
You are resilient if your identity persists:– In the face of shock or disturbance the same set
of organizing processes remain to control the behavior and appearance of a resilient system.

Stability Landscape View of Evolution
Shift from one domain to the next as the rules change
As it changes, a system
modifies its own possible states.
Here a smaller and smaller
perturbation can shift the
equilibrium from one stability
domain to another.
Finally the stability domain
disappears and the system
spontaneously changes state.
![Page 22: Resilience: Exploring Stability and Change in the Dynamics of Systems Jan Sendzimir International Institute of Applied Systems Analysis Laxenburg, Austria](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649c9a5503460f9495759f/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Figure 3 External conditions affect the resilience of multi-stable ecosystems to perturbation. The bottom plane shows the equilibrium curve as in Fig. 2. The stability landscapes depict the equilibria and their basins of attraction at five different conditions. Stable equilibria correspond to valleys; the unstable middle section of the folded equilibrium curve corresponds to a hill. If the size of the attraction basin is small, resilience is small and even a moderate perturbation may bring the system into the alternative basin of attraction.

Resilience
“…the amount of change or disruption that will cause an ecosystem to switch from being maintained by one set of mutually reinforcing processes and structures to an alternative set of processes and structures.”
– G. Peterson 2000

Ecosystem ResilienceDynamic Exchanges between
Stability and Disturbance
Stability is recognized for its contributions to productivity and bio-geochemical cycles.
Like ‘invigorating’ gymnastics, disturbances contribute to diversity, structure and resilience.
The engine of evolution and resilience.– Not disturbance alone– Nor stability alone– But the cycling between them
![Page 26: Resilience: Exploring Stability and Change in the Dynamics of Systems Jan Sendzimir International Institute of Applied Systems Analysis Laxenburg, Austria](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649c9a5503460f9495759f/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Collapse of ResilienceCollapse of Resilience Surprise from Cross-scale Interactions
– Occasionally Natural systems develop to a stage of “over-maturity” where elements are over-connected.
– They become accidents waiting to happen. – Then collective activities of small scale
processes can “cascade upward” and cause the system to flip to another system type.

For Ecosystems with threshold effects and multiple stable states
Supply of ecosystem services– Can arise from many combinations of state
variables.– Depend more on the stability domain the system is
in than any particular combination of state variables.
Management strategy– Sustain or enlarge the stability domain (system
configuration) rather than emphasize a particular state or variable to maximize production.
![Page 46: Resilience: Exploring Stability and Change in the Dynamics of Systems Jan Sendzimir International Institute of Applied Systems Analysis Laxenburg, Austria](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649c9a5503460f9495759f/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
46
Ecosystem Dynamics and Services in Australian Rangelands
Ecosystem services (livestock products)– Depend on amount of grass which
depends on amount of shrubs– When shrub cover (area) exceeds a
threshold, there is not enough grass to sustain a fire that will control the shrubs.
– The system moves on an undesirable trajectory toward a Shrub stability domain.
![Page 47: Resilience: Exploring Stability and Change in the Dynamics of Systems Jan Sendzimir International Institute of Applied Systems Analysis Laxenburg, Austria](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649c9a5503460f9495759f/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)

Expanding the Domain of Desirable Options
Biophysical axis – increase the proportion of perennial
species in the grass sward, control grazing pressure
Socio-economic axis – increasing access to alternative (external)
sources of income • (game farming, tourism).
Not maximization of one goal: profit or biodiversity.

Summary
Phase Space and Stability Landscapes visually describe system dynamics.
Resilience theory allows us – to describe how different variables
influence system dynamics at different scales.
– to manage for how a system moves and retains its integrity as opposed to single goals.

1. EDC’s have many counter-intuitive properties:
• threshold assumption and non-monotonic effects
• exposure during early ontogeny (sensitive periods)
• transgenerational effects
2. Integrating behavioral and evolutionary ecology
• limitations of using inbred strains
• limitations of tests in artificial conditions
e.g., increase susceptibility to predation and infection

Sources of Uncertainty:Complexity
Changing structure - shifting relationships– Ecosystems have more than one
equilibrium, each determined by a different set of key processes
– Shifts in dominance of key processes cause shifts from one equilibrium to another.

Ways of explaining reality
Events
Patterns, Trends
Systemic Structures
Mental Models
What just happened?
What’s been happening?Have we been here or some place similar before?
What are the forces at play contributing to these patterns?
What about our thinking allows this situation to persist?

New challenges for toxicologyFrom Endocrine Disruptor Chemicals

• Synergy At a certain dosage, Chemical A is safe by itself but toxic in combination with Chemical B

Why Panarchy Theory?
Rationalize the interplay between:– Predictable and unpredictable– Evolutionary change and persistence
Explore the world where different variables are nested inside of one another and change at different scales in space and time.

PanarchyA Cross-scale Nested Set of Adaptive Cycles

Why Panarchy Theory?To Account for Dynamics
Within a level– Adaptive cycle describes the engine of
novelty, Creative Destruction, and renewal or reorganization.
Between levels– Revolt – the cascade upward of tiny events– Remember – the context of the next larger
level at climax constrains the next smaller level in times of renewal
