There is a growing concern that many important ecosystems, such as
coral reefs and tropical rain forests, might be at risk of sudden
collapse as a result of human disturbance. At the same time,
efforts to support the recovery of degraded ecosystems are
increasing, through approaches such as ecological restoration and
rewilding. Given the dependence of human livelihoods on the
multiple benefits provided by ecosystems, there is an urgent need
to understand the situations under which ecosystem collapse can
occur, and how ecosystem recovery can best be supported. To help
develop this understanding, this volume provides the first
scientific account of the ecological mechanisms associated with the
collapse of ecosystems and their subsequent recovery. After
providing an overview of relevant theory, the text evaluates these
ideas in the light of available empirical evidence, by profiling
case studies drawn from both contemporary and prehistoric
ecosystems. Implications for conservation policy and practice are
then examined.
