Disturbance ecology in human societies

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 5, Issue 4, Page 1082-1093, August 2023., 2023
Abstract We define societal disturbances as discrete events that abruptly disrupt the functioning of human societies. There is a variety of such events, including hurricanes, floods, epidemics, nuclear accidents, earthquakes and wars, among others. These disturbances can interact, further increasing their impacts.
