The climate is changing fast, and we still do not know for sure what the consequences will be and the magnitude of the changes in the Earth's most biodiverse terrestrial ecosystem, the Amazon rainforest. To overcome such a scientific limitation, here we conceive and execute a four-fold innovative methodological structure, with the necessary interdisciplinary theoretical robustness. Such methods are capable of (1) measuring, and mapping ecosystem resilience at large scales; (2) assess the intrinsic vulnerability of ecosystems to climate change; (3) predict catastrophic transition events between the Amazon rainforest and savannas; and (4) to analyze the effects of past climate change in a quantitative and qualitative way on the ecosyst...
