Understanding Cascading Effects of Critical Transitions in Social-Ecological Systems
- 1. Cascading effects of critical transitions in social-ecological systems Juan Carlos Rocha @juanrocha
- 4. Social challenge: Understand patterns of causes and consequences of regime shifts How common they are? What are the main drivers? Where are they likely to occur? Who will be most affected? What can we do to avoid them? What possible interactions or cascading effects? Science challenge: understand phenomena where experimentation is rarely an option, data availability is poor, and time for action a constraint The Anthropocene
- 7. Can the occurrence of one regime shift in an area of the world increase or decrease the likelihood of other regime shifts in apparently disconnected systems? Can the study of regime shifts networks help us elucidate potential hypothesis for these tele-connections?

The governance & management challenge • Managerial actions need to be coordinated across scales. • 62% of drivers can be managed locally or regionally • Addressing local & regional drivers can build resilience and delay the effect of global ones; but there is not blue print solutions. @juanrocha

A) shows a CLD for coral transitions as reported on RSDB. B) is a network representation of the same CLD where positive links are blue and negative red. C) identifies communities of drivers and processes based on a community detection algorithm. D) shows a network of 19 regime shifts CLD’s where drivers are identified in orange and other variables in yellow. The giant component of the network suggest a large potential pathways of connections between regime shifts drivers and processes, thus plausible cascading effects.

- 40. Regime shifts are tightly connected both when sharing drivers and their underlying feedback dynamics. Great potential for cascading effects. Food production and climate change are the main causes of regime shifts globally. The management of immediate causes or well studied variables might not be enough to avoid such catastrophes. A graphical framework to explore potential regime shifts interconnections has been developed. An empirical frameworks to test the plausibility of such interconnections is still needed. Conclusions
