Ecological thresholds

You know when an environmental system suddenly changes (see wikipedia). Can anyone think of any examples?

Can you list a specific Wiki source to refer to?

In the mean time on first blush, I thought of the St. Helens eruption.

Re: Ecological thresholds

I believe robin is referring to the wiki on Ecological Thresholds.

In that wiki, they give a link to over 100 examples. It can be found here: Database

Roger. St. Helens out then, as it is a big change. Just one Beaver can change a forest by a stream into a marsh, and all the coincident biota therein & thereabouts is affected. A dam is always a threshold after all.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
