"Driven by a combination of global warming and unsustainable resource management, global tipping elements represent existential threats to Earth’s systems and communities... We show how discontinuous change in spatially complex ecosystem models and multidomain magnetic materials represents common generic stress-response behavior in systems that organize spatially when placed under stress."

#Rewilding should be central to global #restoration efforts

by Jens-Christian Svenning, 18 December 2020

Summary:
"Rewilding should be central to the massive restoration efforts needed to overcome the global #biodiversity crisis and enhancing the #biosphere’s capacity to mitigate #ClimateChange. Key elements include large areas for nature, restoration of functional #megafaunas and other natural #biodiversity-promoting factors, synergy with major societal dynamics, and careful socio-ecological implementation."

Excerpt:
"Rewilding should be central to the restoration efforts to overcome the biodiversity crisis while also enhancing the biosphere’s capacity to mitigate human-induced climate change in a resilient manner. Rewilding can be defined as restoration to promote self-regulating complex ecosystems through restoring non-human ecological factors and processes while reducing human control and pressures. This definition is consistent with most definitions and general usage. The relation to restoration is sometimes discussed. The Society for #Ecological #Restoration defines restoration as 'the process of assisting the recovery of an #ecosystem that has been degraded, damaged, or destroyed.' This readily includes rewilding. However, restoration in definition and practice also includes efforts that are clearly not rewilding, e.g., restoration of #CulturalEcosystems or other efforts based on chronic human intervention. Key reasons for a focus on rewilding are its reliance on mechanisms of long-term effectiveness, high upscaling potential, and enhancement of resilience."

Le dessus des ailes du mâle est bleu vif avec une fine bordure noire et des franges blanches unies. Les mâles des générations estivales et automnales ont une nuance violette plus ou moins marquée. Le dessus des ailes des femelles est brun avec des lunules oranges marginales qui n'atteignent pas l'apex. Les femelles des générations suivantes ont parfois le dessus des ailes avec une suffusion bleue.

Weekend #Plankton Factoid 🦠🦐
For a while, there has been concern for how the ocean's #ecosystem is being modeled. Too often it is oversimplified with #phytoplankon and #zooplankton added almost as an afterthought, much less higher trophic levels, or so detailed as to miss relationships and prevent predictions. Scientists are now proposing to create "digital twins" of our planet now as a highly detailed simulation for a framework to investigate #climate impacts. #science
