Insightful talk between iDiv's Volker Hahn and HIFMB director @hillebr1.bsky.social: How frequent are tipping points in ecosystems and can we detect them? ⬇️
Gradual change in ecosystems is often underestimated.
On #InsideBiodiversity, Prof. Helmut Hillebrand explains how small shifts can build up over time and space. 💬 “Even small environmental changes already impact the system… and accumulate.”
