"Anthropogenic perturbation" refers to disturbances or disruptions in the natural systems of the Earth caused by human activities. It highlights the impact and influence of human actions on the environment and ecosystems. Full definition
There is a possibility that we have grossly overestimated the net future impacts due to anthropogenic perturbation of the climate system, and will therefore erroneously indulge in the sort of policy that denialists invariably call «draconian». (realclimate.org)
Anthropogenic perturbation levels of four of the ES processes / features (climate change, biosphere integrity, biogeochemical flows, and land - system change) exceed the proposed PB (see the figure). (science.sciencemag.org)
By combining improved scientific understanding of ES functioning with the precautionary principle, the PB framework identifies levels of anthropogenic perturbations below which the risk of destabilization of the ES is likely to remain low — a «safe operating space» for global societal development.
