🪸 Reef Phase Shift: Sea Urchin Grazing, Macroalgae Hysteresis and Coral Recovery Lab — 2D Phase Plane, Hysteresis and Basins of Attraction

2D companion of the reef phase-shift lab: the coral-macroalgae phase plane with vector field and equilibria, the grazing bifurcation diagram showing hysteresis, basins of attraction, stress thresholds and urchin grazing, using the same model as the 3D scene.
