Spatial correlation as leading indicator of catastrophic shifts

Vasilis Dakos, Egbert H. van Nes, R. Donangelo et al. · 10 Nov 2009

Generic early-warning signals such as increased autocorrelation and variance have been demonstrated in time-series of systems with alternative stable states approaching a critical transition. However, lag times for the detection of such leading indicators are typically long. Here, we show that increased spatial correlation may serve as a more powerful early-warning signal in systems consisting…
