Regime shifts in Social-Ecological Systems (SES) are defined as significant and abrupt changes in the structure and functioning of these interconnected systems, which can have profound implications for ecosystem services and human well-being. These shifts arise from complex interactions among various factors, including environmental pressures and social norms. Feedback loops play a crucial role in this process, either stabilizing or destabilizing the system. Tipping points are thresholds that, when crossed, lead to a transition to a new regime, and making the identification of early warning signals is essential for proactive management. Regime shifts can occur across different spatial and temporal scales, from local ecosystems to global biomes, and from short-term disturbances to long-term trends. They typically result from a combination of gradual pressures—such as climate changes, pollution, or habitat degradation, and sudden shocks, including natural disasters or significant human events. Understanding the processes behind these changes is vital for developing effective management strategies and enhancing resilience. By identifying the factors, processes, and consequences of these shifts, researchers and policymakers can work to prevent unwanted changes and promote sustainable natural resources use. This study emphasizes on the importance of integrated approaches that consider both social and ecological dimensions to enhance the resilience of social-ecological systems.
