(Netherlands Institute of Ecology (NIOO-KNAW)) Wouldn't it be great to tell the state of an (eco)system -- healthy or heading for a crisis -- by keeping track of just a few key signals? The theory of 'tipping points' may help us out. A team led by Alena Gsell of the Netherlands Institute of Ecology has tested early warning signals: in lakes. In the early edition of PNAS online, they conclude that predicting works but not in all cases yet.
