This phenomenon is potentially more dangerous when oxygen loss arises in coastal zones. Here, we present empirical evidence and show that this cascade was set off in the Cambrian Earth system. Carbon isotopes and Mo enrichments in well-dated sediment records from the Steptoean Positive Carbon Isotope Excursion (SPICE) event reveal a rapid decline over 130 ± 30 ka to persistently low Mo levels for 1.0 ± 0.2 Ma, followed by a slower recovery. Using dynamic models for the global biogeochemical cycles, we demonstrate that marine anoxia expanded globally through a self-cascading feedback mechanism. Importantly, we find that the benthic phosphorous flux likely scaled with sedimentation, and that chemocline shoaling into coastal areas likely triggered the SPICE event. We evaluate the risk of passing the tipping point for global-scale anoxia today.</p><h3>Video abstract</h3><p><span><span><span><video controls=\"\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\" data-counter-fields='{\"currObj\":\"MiamiMultiMediaURL\",\"activity\":\"playButton\",\"MMCType\":\"mp4\",\"eid\":\"1-s2.0-S2590332224002549-mmc2.mp4\"}' poster=\"https://ars.els-cdn.com/content/image/1-s2.0-S2590332224002549-mmc2.jpg\" preload=\"auto\" style=\"width: 100%;\"><source src=\"https://ars.els-cdn.com/content/image/1-s2.0-S2590332224002549-mmc2.mp4\" type=\"video/mp4\"/></video></span><span>Download : <span>Download video (72MB)</span></span></span></span></p>","PeriodicalId":52366,"journal":{"name":"One Earth","volume":"160 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":16.2,"publicationDate":"2024-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141532302","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They describe how social, political, economic, or technological systems can move rapidly into a new state if positive feedback mechanisms are triggered. Analyzing the potential for social tipping requires the inherent complexity of social systems to be considered. Yet the growing social tipping literature is missing a practical framework that embeds conceptual and empirical aspects of complex feedback processes. In this perspective, we propose a dynamic systems approach that can contextualize conceptual social tipping mechanisms into practical interventions, and map the key feedback mechanisms underlying tipping dynamics across systems and scales. Our approach has three main components: a systems outlook involving interconnected feedback mechanisms; directed data collection for empirical evidence and monitoring tipping dynamics ; and global, integrated, descriptive modeling to project future dynamics and provide <em>ex ante</em> evidence for tipping interventions. We demonstrate how and why this approach should shape a broad agenda to strengthen the viability and effectiveness of social tipping research.</p>","PeriodicalId":52366,"journal":{"name":"One Earth","volume":"35 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":16.2,"publicationDate":"2024-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141527028","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here we present the first near-global assessment of regenerating forest canopy structure at a 1-km resolution and its progress toward attaining intact forest characteristics. We show that canopy structure in unmanaged naturally regenerating forests more closely resemble intact forests than managed naturally regenerating forests and planted forests, but they are more susceptible to climate and human stress. Meanwhile, managed naturally regenerating forests experience substantial re-clearance. Our findings underscore the high ecological recovery potential of naturally regenerating forests and call for urgent action to enhance socio-ecological conditions for their persistence, unlocking their potential in sustainable development.</p>","PeriodicalId":52366,"journal":{"name":"One Earth","volume":"132 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":16.2,"publicationDate":"2024-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141193559","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
