Resource description:
In the ecological literature the terms "threshold" and "tipping points" are often used synonymously. It is suggested to make a difference between the two here. The question of how different types of thresholds are related and how they can be detected or determined first requires some further explanation of the concepts and the contexts in which they are used.
