• Critical natural capital revisited: Ecological resilience and sustainable development (2009, background): “Yet this is true formanyecosystemtypes(Folkeetal.,2004;WalkerandMeyers, 2004) but not all ( Schroder et al., 2005 ).”
• Phase shifts and stable states on coral reefs (2010, methodology): “We define the environment based on Schröder et al. (2005), who followed Peterson (1984).”
• Ecological thresholds and regime shifts: approaches to identification. (2009, background): “Most of the reported cases of ecological regime shifts are inferred from time series of monitoring data, while direct evidence by controlled experiments of the existence of alternative states is difficult to find [11].”
• Conceptual Synthesis in Community Ecology (2010, background): “Changes in the initial abundances of species in aquatic microcosms can lead to very different and seemingly stable final species compositions (Drake 1991)—a result that has been found in a variety of lab and field experiments (Schröder et al. 2005).”
• Stochastic Community Assembly: Does It Matter in Microbial Ecology? (2017, background): “New, well-replicated, and controlled experimental strategies and approaches, such as synthetic ecosystems that resemble natural ecosystems (278), should be very valuable for rigorously evaluating the relative importance of deterministic versus stochastic processes in community structure and successi”
• Focusing the Meaning(s) of Resilience: Resilience as a Descriptive Concept and a Boundary Object (2007, background): “Because of the backward fold, two stable basins overlap, separated by an unstable one over a given range of the slow variable (Scheffer et al. 2001, Scheffer and Carpenter 2003, Schröder et al. 2005).”
• What can we learn from resource pulses? (2008, background): “…stable states (Scheffer 1990, Holmgren et al. 2001, Holmgren and Scheffer 2001, Scheffer et al. 2001, 2003, Scheffer and Carpenter 2003, Folke et al. 2004, Van Nes and Scheffer 2004, Schroder et al. 2005), or contribute to important nonequilibrium transient behaviors (Hastings 2001, 2004).”
• Setting Effective and Realistic Restoration Goals: Key Directions for Research (2007, background): “Such approaches are receiving increasing attention in the recent ecological literature (e.g., Beisner et al. 2003; Bestelmeyer et al. 2004; Mayer & Rietkerk 2004; Walker & Meyers 2004; Didham et al. 2005; Schröder et al. 2005).”
