West bounding coordinate: -180.0 East bounding coordinate: 180.0 North bounding coordinate: 90.0 South bounding coordinate: -90.0 Temporal Coverage Start Date: 2000 End Date: 2018 Data Table Entity Name: abruptChangeMETA_Data_2022-04-07 Entity Description: This dataset contains information extracted from a series of paper identified to be characterizing abrupt ecological change, based on a literature review of 734 papers. We assess the spatial and temporal scales that the abrupt change was measured, as well as the driver and response of that change.
