Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Can Biospheric Tipping Points Scale up to Planetary Boundaries?
Q: Is there a danger in broadly defining safe operating spaces when communicating about planetary boundaries?
Marten agreed that simplifying complex concepts can lead to misunderstandings, especially regarding tipping points and the concept of safe operating spaces.
Can Biospheric Tipping Points Scale up to Planetary Boundaries?
Q: What made you interested in the topic of critical transitions?
Marten Scheffer discussed his initial curiosity about nature, leading to his studies in ecology and theoretical biology, which eventually focused on critical transitions.
Can We Detect Tipping Points in the Biosphere?
Q: What is a safe operating space for biodiversity?
Hillebrand emphasizes that biodiversity cannot be viewed simplistically as something that can be lost without consequences, as all species are entangled in complex interactions that support ecosystem functioning.
Can We Detect Tipping Points in the Biosphere?
Q: Can you give one very concrete example of an ecosystem where we have seen such a regime shift?
Hillebrand cites the transition from phytoplankton dominance to macrophyte dominance in shallow lakes and the shift from coral to algal dominance in reefs as examples of regime shifts related to nutrient levels.
Can We Detect Tipping Points in the Biosphere?
Q: How did you become an ecologist, and what is your motivation to do ecological research?
Helmut Hillebrand shares his journey from studying genetics to ecology, highlighting the fascination of complex interactions among organisms and the importance of understanding ecological changes.
