The decline of walleye populations: an ecological tipping point? by Greg G. Sass

“…I provide a review and perspective suggesting that the current trajectory of walleye populations is at or nearing an ecological tipping point. Although fish populations are often considered compensatory (i.e., negatively density-dependent), current walleye populations appear prone to depensation (i.e., positive density dependence). …”

Land system changes of terrestrial tipping elements on Earth under global climate pledges: 2000–2100 by Jiaying Lv, Yifan Gao, Changqing Song, Li Chen, Sijing Ye, Peichao Gao

“…Abstract Tipping elements on Earth are components that undergo rapid and irreversible changes when climate change reaches a tipping point. …”

Considerations for determining warm-water coral reef tipping points by P. Pearce-Kelly, A. H. Altieri, J. F. Bruno, C. E. Cornwall, M. McField, A. I. Muñiz-Castillo, J. Rocha, R. O. Setter, C. Sheppard, R. M. Roman-Cuesta, C. Yesson

“…These impacts may drive coral ecosystems past critical thresholds, beyond which the system reorganises, often abruptly and potentially irreversibly; this is what the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC, 2022) define as a tipping point. …”

Creating Agent-Based Energy Transition Management Models That Can Uncover Profitable Pathways to Climate Change Mitigation by Auke Hoekstra, Maarten Steinbuch, Geert Verbong

“…The energy domain is still dominated by equilibrium models that underestimate both the dangers and opportunities related to climate change. In reality, climate and energy systems contain tipping points, feedback loops, and exponential developments. …”

La résurgence/convergence du triptyque « catastrophe-résilience-adaptation » pour (re)penser la « fabrique urbaine » face aux risques climatiques by Béatrice Quenault

“…Secondly, considering the actual uses and meanings of resilience, this article interrogates the operational feature of this concept to re-think about the “urban fabric” in an integrated manner with the climate risks prevention. Finally, it aims to clarify why planned adaptation strategies aimed at reducing vulnerabilities and enhancing proactive resilience of cities, that have progressively become in both academic and institutional discourses a key feature, and even a tipping point, for urban sustainable development pathways, can revealed to be ambiguous.…”

Global Marine Ecosystem Response to a Strong AMOC Weakening Under Low and High Future Emission Scenarios by A. A. Boot, J. Steenbeek, M. Coll, A. S. von derHeydt, H. A. Dijkstra

“…Climate change increases the risk of passing tipping points; for example, the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) might tip under future global warming leading to additional changes in the climate system. …”

Impacts of benchmarking choices on inferred model skill of the Arctic–Boreal terrestrial carbon cycle by Jeralyn Poe, Deborah Huntzinger, Nathan Collier, Christopher Schwalm, Jon Wells, Christina Schädel, William J Riley, Stephen Sitch

“…A key area often misrepresented by models is the Arctic–Boreal region, which is a potential tipping point region in Earth’s climate system due to large permafrost carbon stocks that are vulnerable to release with climate warming. …”
