Abstract
    The time needed for ecosystems to recover from a disturbance has been proposed as a generic indicator of ecosystem resilience. The lengthening of the recovery time with increasing stress is referred to as “Critical Slowing Down” and has been proposed as an early warning of a nearing tipping point. Hence, methodologies for measuring recovery rates and critical slowing down in remotely sensed data might provide a powerful way to synoptically asses ecosystem resilience. Here, we present a protocol using an algorithm to measure the recovery time after a disturbance from sequential spatial data. The algorithm can be applied to both empirical, e.g. remotely sensed, and simulated spatial data.
