Models simulating abrupt changes in the Chilika lagoon fishery, the Easter Island community, forest dieback and lake water quality

<p>This deposit is in support of Willcock et al &quot;Earlier collapse of Anthropocene ecosystems driven by multiple faster and noisier drivers&quot;. It&nbsp;covers the following items: (i) A list of the files contained within this data deposit; (ii) How to access and download the specialist software required to view and simulate the system dynamics models (STELLA &lsquo;isee Player&rsquo;); (iii) How to run isee Player to simulate the models; (iv) How to access and download the standard statistical software &lsquo;R&rsquo; to run the R scripts; (v) How to load &lsquo;R&rsquo; and modify the standard R script to analyse a subset of the model runs. This file will also details the &lsquo;required content&rsquo; (e.g. software versions), as specified in the &lsquo;nr-software-policy.pdf&rsquo; document.</p> <p>The full descriptions of each of the four system dynamics models used in this manuscript can be read in the following papers:</p> <ol> <li>Lake Chilika &ndash; Cooper, G.
