A study was conducted to establish the origin and policy importance of economic irreversibility linked with environmental change. Moreover, the research supports that such nonlinearities and indirect irreversibilities have their origins on commonplace, but complex interactions among economic and ecological variables. Results suggest that there is a need for a proactive policy instead of having a "wait and see" attitude with regards to environmental degradation.
...As with other threshold phenomena, some ecotones are simply explained by sharp discontinuities in t...
