Detecting hotspots of atmosphere-vegetation interaction via slowing down - Part 1: A stochastic approach.

The article presents a study which detected atmosphere vegetation interaction's hotspot via slowing down using early warning signals (EWS). It states that EWS can be used as a diagnostic tool to find hotspot and distinguish from regions that experience induced tipping. It says that using a stochastic model, EWS, at individual components of a coupled system, has been demonstrated as non-generic precursors of sudden transition at tipping point.
