- Ecological thresholds at the savanna-forest boundary: how plant traits, resources and fire govern the distribution of tropical biomes. (2012, background): “It is similarly important to understand conditions under which even savanna species may fail to persist, as this may explain the existence of an entirely treeless state which also occurs over parts of the tropics (Hirota et al. 2011).”
- Planetary boundaries: Guiding human development on a changing planet (2015, background): “Land-system change Deforestation of the Amazon basin has teleconnections to global climate (56,103-105,149); regional land-system change affects rainfall patterns at the continental scale (150).”
- Resilience indicators: prospects and limitations for early warnings of regime shifts (2015, background): “Novel approaches, such as potential analysis, may be used to assess bistability [59,60].”
- Ecological resilience: what to measure and how (2022, methodology): “Using the probability distribution of system states could be achieved by simple histograms or by fitting uni- or multivariate density (e.g. Gaussian) functions to the data (Hirota et al 2011, Berdugo et al 2017).”
- Network analysis: an integrative approach to the structure of psychopathology. (2013, background): “One such technique, which we think is especially apt to the study of psychopathology, comes from the study of sudden transitions in ecosystems (e.g., from tropical forest to savanna; Hirota et al. 2011).”
- Leaf adaptations of evergreen and deciduous trees of semi‐arid and humid savannas on three continents (2013, background): “Seasonally dry environments range from very dry savannas (200 mm year 1, > 8 months dry season) to dry forests (up to 2000 mm year 1, > 3 months dry season) (S anchez-Azofeifa et al. 2005; Bond 2008; Hirota et al. 2011).”
