Stability Regime
From Open Risk Manual
Definition
Stability Regime. A stable state, in terms of a set of unique biotic and abiotic conditions, in which an ecosystem can exist. Ecosystems can exist under multiple alternative stability regimes. These alternative states are considered stable over ecologically relevant timescales. Ecosystems may transition from one stability regime to another, in what is known as a 'regime shift' when perturbed [1].
