Detection of multiple stable states
Detection of multiple stable states
This chapter focuses on the test used to detect multiple basins of attraction that demonstrates hysteresis. It explains Peterson's criteria used for the two experimental approaches that assess multiple stable states. Peterson says that the experiment must be done in a single environment that is shown to have the potential to be occupied by two or more distinct communities, and that is self-replicating. The chapter also validates the use of mutual invisibility and priority effects as tests for multiple basins of attraction.
