Spatial Imaging and Screening for Regime Shifts

Abstract: Screening is a strategy for detecting undesirable change prior to manifestation of symptoms or adverse effects. Although the well-recognized utility of screening makes it commonplace in medicine, it has yet to be implemented in ecosystem management. Ecosystem management is in an era of diagnosis and treatment of undesirable change, and as a result, remains more reactive than proactive and unable to effectively deal with today's plethora of non-stationary conditions. In this paper, we introduce spatial imaging-… Show more

“…The fractional cover of functional groups and cover types in rangelands reflect numerous ecosystem processes and ecosystem services. Changes in one functional group has predictable ecological impacts on other groups and the services they provide (Uden et al, 2019). For example, woody plant encroachment into grasslands constrains herbaceous grass cover and diminishes forage production and wildlife habitat (Archer et al, 2017), whereas annual grass invasion reduces perennial herbaceous plants and shrubs (Davies, 2008).…”

“…For instance, the NASA Soil Moisture Active Passive and European Space Agency Soil Moisture Ocean Salinity instrument provides soil moisture estimates but with relatively low‐spatial resolution (~25 km). That said, new remotely sensed observations, ecological transition identification methods (Uden et al, 2019), and increasingly fine‐scale, large‐extent remotely sensed information (Jones et al, 2018) continue to advance our ability to study large‐scale ecosystem complexity and can build upon the initial exploration of the 1,390 wildfires analyzed in this study.…”

New data products are now available that better capture changes in woody plant abundance over time, and further confirm the vulnerability of the region to further grassland displacement and tree expansion (Jones et al 2018;Uden et al 2019). kirtlandii] after it was discovered that the bird species depends on periodic fires in its breeding areas), the reliance on chemical or mechanical techniques to target emergent "weed" species and to serve as a replacement for historical disturbances (irrespective of native or non-native status), and the use of reseeding techniques to accelerate ecological succession and restore idealized critical functionality back to a high-biomass condition.…”

“…For example, there is a need to link laws and policies to quantitative measures of system condition (Garmestani and Allen 2014). Several approaches appear promising in this respect for improving ecosystem management, as they are based on a systems perspective; these include discontinuity analysis (Nash et al 2014), multivariate timeseries modeling (Angeler et al 2011), spatial analysis for early warning indicators (Roberts et al 2019), and advanced screening techniques for regime shift detection (Uden et al 2019).…”
