The regime shifts database collects and synthesise information about regime shifts around the world. Regime shifts are large, persistent changes in the function and structure of ecosystems. Currently over 30 regime shifts are described, over 300 case studies by reviewing over 1000 scientific papers.

Data description
The dataset is included in one zip archive, containing comma separated value (csv) files.
