 |
| Title of Example | Short title including description and location of the shift |
| Certainty of shift | Proposed or demonstrated |
| Location | Detailed location of the example |
| System type | Social–Ecological, Ecological or other |
| Ecosystem type | Ecosystem type either where the change of state has occurred, or that is linked to the changed social state (e.g., forest) |
| Type of resource use | Primary use of the resource (e.g., livestock production) |
| Ecosystem services | Benefits that people derive from the ecosystem (e.g., food, water) |
| Resource users | Agents who use the ecosystem services (e.g., subsistence farmers, fishers) |
| Ownership and user rights | Type of ownership of the resource, or the rights of the users |
| Spatial scale | Scale at which the shift has occurred |
| Number of possible regimes | Number of alternate regimes in the example |
| Time scale of change | Time taken for the shift to occur |
| Reversibility | Reversibility of the state shift (e.g., irreversible, reversible with hysteresis) |
| Background | Information relevant to the example (e.g., site description, history) |
| Rules | Laws, regulations, norms or taboos that led to the regime shift |
| Alternate regimes | Alternate regimes of the system |
| Fast or dependent variable(s) | Variables of concern that are radically altered during the shift (e.g., species composition, productivity) |
| Slower or Independent Variable(s) | Variables that lead to the shift and define the position of the threshold (e.g., phosphorus concentration) |
| Disturbance or threshold trigger(s) | Variables that trigger the changes in the Slower or Independent Variables (e.g., climate change, market forces) |
| External / Internal Trigger(s) | Are the triggers external drivers or internal processes? |
| Mechanism | Process by which the triggers, fast/dependent variables and slower/independent variables interact to effect the shift |
| Management decisions in each regime | Relevant management or policy decisions, including incentives, subsidies, sanctions, and monitoring of the resource and resource users |
| Reference(s) | Full references and codes for the type of evidence presented |
