Stability (in the context of resiliency)

1. Ball and cup model

ball is the parameter and how it varies

cup is the landscape (and how it changes)

 

2. 2D diagram for two stable state systems

state vs. stress

shows hysteresis of response

increase stress

reverse stress

 

3. combination of these two diagrams

focusing on slow changes in the landscape (pollution, nutrients, global climate, etc)
