Detect Early-Warning Signals of Collapse
Develop monitoring techniques to detect early-warning indicators—such as critical slowing down—that suggest an ecosystem is approaching a tipping point.
Establish robust, scalable networks for real-time ecological monitoring using integrated technologies. Deploy sensor arrays that combine soundscapes, environmental DNA (eDNA) sampling, and satellite data fusion to continuously assess ecosystem health across diverse regions.

We lack the models and infrastructure to monitor and predict how ecosystems behave under stress or when they might collapse, as well as what metrics to use to determine that restoration is effective. We need to understand the underlying dynamics, feedback loops, and thresholds that lead to ecosystem...
