Tipping points and multiple drivers in changing aquatic ecosystems: A review of experimental studies (Data)

The ecological concepts of tipping points and multiple stressors are both important concepts for the management of natural ecosystems. However, very few studies have attempted to combined both concepts and evaluate tipping points in the context of multiple stressors. The data available here have been published in a literature review (Limnology & Oceanography). In this review we (1) develop a historical and current perspective of tipping point studies in terrestrial, freshwater and marine ecological systems; (2) portray the research effort in different freshwater and marine habitats; and (3) explore the results of experimental studies focusing on tipping points measured at the individual, communities, ecosystem level, as well as ecosystem functions and services in a context of single and multiples stressors.临界点（tipping points）与多重压力源（multiple stressors）的生态学概念，均为自然生态系统管理领域的重要理论基础。然而，鲜有研究尝试将这两类概念相结合，并在多重压力源的背景下对临界点展开评估。本文提供的数据集已发表于《Limnology & Oceanography》期刊的一篇综述论文中。在该综述中，我们（1）梳理了陆地、淡水与海洋生态系统中临界点研究的历史脉络与当前进展；（2）阐述了不同淡水与海洋生境中的研究投入情况；（3）探讨了针对单压力源与多重压力源情境下，在个体、群落、生态系统尺度下测得的临界点相关实验研究结果，以及生态系统功能与服务相关内容。
