Abstract: Natural ecosystems are experiencing unprecedented rates of change due to anthropogenic activities and global change, leading to either gradual changes in a given response or tipping points. While the tipping point concept has been tested in an array of habitats since the 1960s, the spatiotemporal superposition of multiple drivers in different ecosystems needs to be considered when investigating the response of species, communities, populations, and ecosystems along environmental gradients. Here, we (1) develop a historical and current perspective of tipping point studies in terrestrial, freshwater, and marine ecological systems; (2) portray the research effort in different freshwater and marine habitats; and (3) explore the results of experimental studies focusing on tipping points measured at the individual, communities, ecosystem level, as well as ecosystem functions and services in a context of single and multiple stressors. The number of studies mentioning the concept of tipping points increases every year, but very few studies have specific objective to identify them. Even fewer studies consider how the addition of another stressor into an ecosystem may alter a tipping point. In addition, many studies investigated multiple responses, but only one‐fourth (7 out of 28) of them concentrate their effort on multiple biological or ecological levels of complexity. This review allowed us to identify shortcomings in this research field and propose ways to make this ecological concept anew. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
