text: One important example of this type of behavior is the range of soil productivity "behavior" of soils over time, including the ability of some soils to sustain moderate to high levels of productivity over years or decades (they resist change through processes of negative feedback), and then collapse in terms of food production as the interlocking, complex systems fueled by organic constituents and biological processes are dismantled (positive feedbacks operate to drive them towards degradation).
